I am a barrier.

Speaker 2 (02:28):
You're you're a uh grew up a forty nine ers.

Speaker 1 (02:31):
This is this is I would say we're a couple
of years different in age, but I would say this
is the zenith of the This is the peak of
the forty nine ers.

Speaker 2 (02:41):
I like, you know what he did right there? He
saw that I didn't know what the fuck zenith was,
and he had to bring he had to change it.

Speaker 3 (02:50):
That's a checkdown.

Speaker 2 (02:51):
That's a checkout, a whole cop route. We had a
will week safety. He threw hot.

Speaker 3 (02:57):
I looked at it a checkdown. I'm gonna check out.
I like the checkdown.

Speaker 1 (03:00):
Yeah, but it's this is like, this is my favorite
super Bowl. This I would say this super Bowl is
definitive of who I am as a person.

Speaker 2 (03:11):
Is this the greatest game of all time?

Speaker 1 (03:13):
I don't know, because I have too much personal involvement
in this super Bowl.

Speaker 3 (03:17):
This is nineteen ninety I'm.

Speaker 2 (03:20):
Six years old. You remember this game.

Speaker 1 (03:23):
This is the first. There was so much in this
super Bowl for me. You have to understand, grew up
die hard for an Irish fan. My mom, she's from Fresno,
but her whole family's from Colorado. My dad Bay Area,
I mean raised, I never I never lived there. I
would visit him for long periods of time.

Speaker 3 (03:42):
Part of the bank. Uh.

Speaker 1 (03:43):
He was from East Bay, born in Oakland, grew up
in Walnut Creek, went to College Park High School for
a die hard.

Speaker 2 (03:51):
I don't know, want that right there. If you're an
East Bay kid, usually you're Rais fan.

Speaker 1 (03:57):
I think he wanted to be a little bit of
a contrarian. Also, my grandma was a Niners fan.

Speaker 2 (04:02):
That could be it.

Speaker 1 (04:02):
And my my grandma would go to Keysar. She would
tell me stadium like going to watch bring knives in
to make sandwiches.

Speaker 3 (04:09):
Yeah.

Speaker 2 (04:10):
Well, so the Niners are significantly older than the Raiders.
The Raiders came in with the AFL in nineteen sixty.
The Niners are like, I think, one of the original
Now I don't, don't fact check me, but they're like
a super old team.

Speaker 3 (04:22):
Yeah, they are older, they are, and I know and
I like the old.

Speaker 2 (04:25):
Yeah.

Speaker 1 (04:26):
So, my grandma, who grew up in the or moved
to the Bay Area when she was like sixteen. She's
a huge Niners fan. Dad's a huge Niners fan. So
it was inevitable. I'm a forty nine Ers fan, even
though I'm born in Hartford. Well, my mom's working for
ETNA because my parents were Connecticut. Yeah, my parents met
wh Yeah the Whalers.

Speaker 2 (04:44):
Dude, Yeah, cats too, March great, great merch.

Speaker 1 (04:48):
I'm marrying into a Bruins family, so I cannot wear
the whalers merch.

Speaker 4 (04:52):
I almost wore my whaler's hat today, dude, the Whalers.
My clause was like, no, not today.

Speaker 2 (04:56):
It was. It was.

Speaker 1 (04:57):
But here's the thing is, Uh, my mom was working
for ETNA. That's why we were living out there. That's
why I was born out there.

Speaker 2 (05:03):
Insurance's like the shoe company.

Speaker 3 (05:08):
Was way cooler. I'm gonna worry about life and casualty.

Speaker 2 (05:11):
I want sneaks and I was doing the math like that.

Speaker 4 (05:13):
I don't get that.

Speaker 2 (05:13):
Probably started in Connecticut.

Speaker 1 (05:15):
Yeah, dude, Connecticut was like insurance hub in the eighties,
and my mom worked for ETNA. So I'm born in Hartford,
but the first piece of clothing I'm in is a
forty nine ers onesie, and it's like I'm born in
eighty three. So we're on our way up, way up.
We're on our way right after you know, the eighty
one Super Bowl. I don't remember eighty four Marino Montana.

Speaker 3 (05:35):
I'm one eighty eight. I kind of remember it. I'm
like watching football my dad. I'm super into the forty
nine Ers, so I kind of remember that. But then
we moved to Denver eighty eight, end of eighty eight,
so the beginning of the eighty eight season, which is
or eighty nine. Excuse me, we moved to Denver. I'm

(05:56):
a forty nine Ers fan. I'm a five or six
year old die Hard.

Speaker 2 (06:00):
Fort nine and they love their football In Denver.

Speaker 3 (06:02):
It's John elwaytown.

Speaker 2 (06:03):
Oh yeah, it's John elwaytown.

Speaker 1 (06:06):
My parents' divorce this year nineteen eighty nine, parents split up.
Dad moves back to the Bay, Mom and I stay
in Aurora, Colorado. My mom's like, fuck it, I'm not
going to support the forty nine Ers. I'm a Broncos fan.
Whole family's a Broncos fan. So my mom's like, go Broncos,

(06:26):
go John Elway. Uh huh, I'm staying at nine Ers.
Are you kidding me?

Speaker 3 (06:31):
Yeah?

Speaker 2 (06:32):
The late eighties. You think I'm getting off the boat.

Speaker 3 (06:35):
Can't.

Speaker 2 (06:36):
We're eating good now. I got one question about the divorce. Yeah,
Dad's fault Is this why you? Is this why you
became a comic? Because usually I'm very close to Samareli.
He says, every comic has a traumatic something.

Speaker 1 (06:50):
Yeah, Batman doesn't become Batman if his parents aren't murdered
after the autum. This was just the beginning. This was
I wish this was the reason I was a comic.
This was the Amus boush leading into why I'm a comic.
I wish this was the darkest that got. I would
pray for sunny days like this later in life, but

(07:11):
this would, I'd say, is the initial crack in the founda.
This is what's leading to this kid's gonna have a
life in comedy.

Speaker 2 (07:19):
And then also probably being a fan of the forty
nine ers in a full Boston territory.

Speaker 1 (07:24):
What's up mission Ville Hill Elementary, I'll see you on
the school yard. Joe Montana is better than John Elway,
not even close. It's not even a conversation. You want
to talk about baseball maybe, but you were talking about football,
Joe Montana.

Speaker 2 (07:37):
What about basketball? Joe got drafted as a basketball player.
Oh yeah, because he was a running quarterback at Notre Dame.
He was People forget that he was a fucking hellicad
basketball player.

Speaker 3 (07:45):
I wish I would have known that.

Speaker 1 (07:46):
I wish I would have had that basketball thing about
like well, because everyone be like well, Elway is a
better athlete.

Speaker 3 (07:52):
He was drafted in baseball. I forgot. And dude, by
the way, yeah, listening up an Ironers fan, one thing
I will say. I respect the fuck out of John Lway,
and I ended up having listen, this is why this
game is so important. I end up having a soft
spot for the Denver Broncos.

Speaker 2 (08:12):
You go up. My mom loves them.

Speaker 1 (08:13):
My family, my mom's family die hard Broncos fans. I'm
just I'm with the Niners. I'm already. I've already picked
my lot in life. So we get to the super Bowl.
This super Bowl, my parents are going through a pretty
it wasn't a good divorce, pretty dark.

Speaker 3 (08:32):
My mom decides to have a Super Bowl party.

Speaker 1 (08:36):
You know, she's got single mom energy. Dude, if you
would have seen this picture back then, the hair was big,
she had a six year old.

Speaker 3 (08:43):
She's Trisha is feeling it. Trisha is she's in her
forties and she's like, I don't need a man. Denver
is a party town. You know.

Speaker 1 (08:58):

It's all orange and blue except her six year old son,
who's in a Joe Montana jersey.

family members over this?

Speaker 3 (09:37):
Uh? Well, the funniest thing, one of the funnest things.

Speaker 1 (09:40):
My dad is But I think at this time he's
still living in Denver. It is before he moved back
to the Bay Area. Him and my mom weren't on
good terms. And the forty nine Ers win the Super
Bowl and he calls the house and he's like, hey, pal,

Speaker 3 (09:58):
I left you something under the doormat. And I go
into the doormat.

the door, so the first time I was ever heard,

the Niners again.

Speaker 2 (11:10):
Well r P, all right, yeah, have you never seen
co parent team battle? That's what the sport bringing the sport.
But I also live in California, so it's a little different.
I bet you go to like Alabama and ship Oh, I.

Speaker 1 (11:23):
Bet Alabama houses when you get that. But here's the
thing is they were never she. I think she chose
the Broncos as kind of like I ain't gonna cheer
on the Niners because I.

Speaker 3 (11:32):
Know my.

Speaker 2 (11:35):
Is gonna love it.

Speaker 1 (11:36):
But I was, dude, I was in Giants and uh
the San Francisco Giants, San Francisco four nine ers. When
the Rockies came around in ninety three, everyone was like
Colorado Rocky Fever, and I was like, they're in the
nl Wes.

Speaker 3 (11:47):
They can go fuck themselves.

Speaker 2 (11:49):
They had one, They had the batter who was the
Andre Walker because I used to play those baseball games
and he was always nast.

Speaker 3 (11:59):
Walker was in dude, he was fucking nasty.

Speaker 5 (12:01):
He just found out he grew up in the same
street as Kim Neely really Canada, and they like played together.

Speaker 1 (12:07):
That's a badass street. That's a badass street. You got
cam Neely and Larry Walker. Who's a Walker hit like
four fifteen one year or some shit like that.

Speaker 3 (12:15):
Yeah, I remember that.

Speaker 2 (12:16):
Yeah, who's your uh who's your hockey team?

Speaker 1 (12:19):
I'm I'm I didn't grow up. I grew up without
a hockey team. Avalanche came to Colorado. I like to
drink beers and watch it in high school. That was fun,
but I never got into it.

Speaker 2 (12:28):
So when the Sharks first came, my dad was huge
into the Sharks. Yeah, my dad tried to get me
into the Sharks, and I was kind of like, well,
we're California people. I've told this story a million times.
But me and my dad would go and my brother
we go to the Cow Palace because they were playing
in the Cow Palace.

Speaker 1 (12:44):
Yo, dude, I almost wore my Cow Palace shirt, the
Cow Palace shirt. I used to go to w w
F there.

Speaker 2 (12:49):
Yeah, my brother went there. I didn't get to make
when my brother. My dad took my brother. But uh,
we go to there and we missed the first two
quarters because we thought it was football. There's there were
four and we're like, at least we'll get the second half.
We're there for like twenty minutes, forty minutes games over,
We're like, oh, what the That was my introduction to hockey.
I don't want to get that.

Speaker 3 (13:09):
Mine was.

Speaker 1 (13:10):
It was fun, like I said it was fun to like,
the Avalanche were immediately good, so it was like easy.

Speaker 3 (13:15):
But then I just didn't stick with it.

Speaker 2 (13:17):
Does hockey always do that? An expansion team wins the ship?

Speaker 3 (13:21):
I mean, the Knights came out and were great.

Speaker 4 (13:24):
That's the end of the list. It's the Abs and
the Nights.

Speaker 2 (13:26):
That was it. Yeah. Oh that was old cracking, no
cracking cracking.

Speaker 4 (13:29):
Yeah.

Speaker 1 (13:30):
Uh And then now I'm you know, my fiance Katie's
huge brew it. I mean, but here's the thing about
Boston that a lot of people don't talk about.

Speaker 3 (13:39):
And you know this from living out there.

Speaker 1 (13:41):
It's like there are families where it is like hockey
here and then the next thing.

Speaker 3 (13:46):
Is Patriots or Red Sox. There's like there are cults.

Speaker 2 (13:49):
There's a cult of Bruins fans that because it's the Northeast,
they that's where hockey.

Speaker 3 (13:54):
Thrives, thrives, thrives and high school ship.

Speaker 1 (13:57):
Katie's brother was nasty at high school, at hockey in
high school, like coming up, so they were a hockey family. Yeah,
And I was like I was kind of up for adoption. Yeah,
And I was like, dude, let's do this, and it's
kind of fun. Because I'm learning hockey through them, but
they're like really invested. So then there's moments where like

(14:17):
the Bruins hasn't been going well last two seasons, and
so I kind of am like, hey, should I leave?

Speaker 2 (14:23):
Yeah?

Speaker 3 (14:24):
You know, you get that sports feeling and you go,
shut up.

Speaker 1 (14:26):
Dad, yeah you go, I don't want to fuck this up.
Oh my god, because we have she knows the forty
nine ers for me, run that's number one with a
bullet Like I'm into I watch preseason games, I'm into
all that shit.

Speaker 2 (14:41):
Like on average, how much football are you watching a week?
Not just nine ers? Though?

Speaker 1 (14:44):
Oh everything right once it starts football coming back is
like give me four hour sundays, give me that first
first college game that happened like three year ago, zero
week zero. And then I'm like, oh, yeah, well we
got we got they're playing in Dublin. We got Tech
over in Dublin.

Speaker 3 (15:01):
Yeah.

Speaker 1 (15:01):
And then I'm like, and then I'm full shoveling in
my face, who's the college team? I grew up loving
the Buffs. So here's what's interesting. NAT back then nineteen nineties,
same year and that was like kind of and my
dad was a cow fan, so here's how it worked.
Dad was huge in the cal family, loved the Warriors,

(15:22):
loved the Niners and Giants. I stayed Niners Giants. There
was no budget on that NBA. When they traded Mitch Rich,
when they traded Tim Hardaway to the Heat, I was
with my dad. Actually, he was working at this liquor
store in Mill Valley called Dan's Liquors, and I'd like
just chill there, just to hang out on the side
of them. And I remember being like, I don't I

(15:45):
don't think I'm gonna be a Warriors fan anymore. And
my dad was like what. I was like, I think
I want to be a Nuggets fan. And he was
like the Denver Nuggets and I was like, yeah, I
love Lafonso Ellis. Like I was just super into Lafonso Ellis.
And then we got Matumbo and I was kind of like,
you know, the Nuggets are kind of sick.

Speaker 3 (16:05):
Yeah, And they changed their jerseys to like the dark blue.

Speaker 1 (16:09):
It wasn't the the uh, the skyline. It was like
the nugget with the wrap around, just kind of like
fresh cool unis. And I was like, I'm gonna be
a Nuggets fan. And my dad was like this okay, Yeah,
and then the Warriors went off.

Speaker 2 (16:24):
Yeah, but that that was they didn't go off then.

Speaker 1 (16:27):
No, But like later my grandma died a Warriors fan,
and she would rub that shit in my face. Yeah,
she'd like Dubs one and I'd be like, I know.

Speaker 3 (16:34):
But that was a very that time.

Speaker 2 (16:37):
That was probably what early nineties, when yeh ninety three, so,
I mean that's when the Warriors were unwatchable.

Speaker 3 (16:43):
They were so bad run TMC.

Speaker 2 (16:46):
They had Mulling, they had Hardaway, they had mid Read,
but they all went away and they were bad for
a while.

Speaker 1 (16:50):
Yeah.

Speaker 3 (16:50):
And then they had that weird futuristic design.

Speaker 2 (16:52):
Yeah, with that free choking out the coach, which I
still kind of liked them then I loved I was
I But the Kings came and and a lot of
the Bay Area people were like they had seaweb lotty
be bog and all thes and ship.

Speaker 3 (17:06):
Dude, they were actually battling the Lakers, those Sacramento they
were erul on as hell, those Western Conference Finals two
thousand and two thousand and one, Kings Lakers. I don't
give a ship who you're a fan of those.

Speaker 2 (17:19):
Story rigged bro, We did that. We did that game
with Bibi.

Speaker 4 (17:22):
Oh yeah, yeah, that's right. Yeah, really, that's.

Speaker 3 (17:26):
Yeah, that's oh yeah, because he's from up there, he's
from he's from the outside of Sacramento. Yeah, dude, that's
It's funny when Sacramento decides to be Bay.

Speaker 2 (17:35):
Area or not, they're not okay. If you ain't on
that damn Bay. If you ain't touching it, you ain't Bay.

Speaker 1 (17:41):
You know what's funny about that is do you remember
when the Warriors were playing the Kings, I think in
a playoff series recently, and they kicked E forty out of.

Speaker 3 (17:48):
A game in Sacramento? Did they? Yeah? And then everyone
online was like, oh, your Bay card is pulled gone.
They're like, you're it got posted.

Speaker 1 (17:57):
I forget what the exact story is, but E forty
got asked to leave a King's game and everyone was like,
you don't do that to the King of the bank.

Speaker 2 (18:04):
Can't if you think you're from the Bay dude.

Speaker 3 (18:06):
Forties the man.

Speaker 2 (18:07):
When I went to Ohio, I brought the my ghetto
report card out there for college and people looked at
me like I was a fucking idiot, Like what is
this ship man?

Speaker 3 (18:16):
What the why don't they react weirder to forty or
you saying hella.

Speaker 2 (18:20):
Uh forty fortys like some I mean, I don't know. No,
Hella was pretty.

Speaker 3 (18:28):
Hella is a way that you immediately go, you're northern California. Huh.

Speaker 2 (18:31):
That was the only California kid on the team.

Speaker 3 (18:34):
Really they had.

Speaker 2 (18:34):
They they all thought anyone if like in football, if
they think you're from California, they think sir for dude. Yeah,
they don't really saw the California. Yeah, they don't realize
big the state is.

Speaker 1 (18:43):
It's also funny because it's like it takes someone like
Marshawn Lynch to go, no, there's a Bay Area accident.
Oh yeah, like the way they what's up Marc ass Bluster,
like the way mark, like the way they do dumb
out here dogs.

Speaker 3 (18:55):
Yeah, you'll hear people and you go, that's bear rogue.

Speaker 2 (18:57):
Rogue is a very that's East Palo Alto, Like they
what's that rout?

Speaker 1 (19:01):
And then you got like the Diaz brothers and the
whole Stockton lingo all that.

Speaker 2 (19:05):
I hang out the boys there, they're awesome.

Speaker 3 (19:08):
I spased it so.

Speaker 2 (19:09):
But Stockton's still not the Bay Niners Chiefs.

Speaker 1 (19:13):
The last Super Bowl, Michael Chay got me a ticket
through SNL because he's a big Niners fan. He grew
up loving the Niners just to piss off his brother.
His brothers was a Giants fan, and he was like,
fuck that, go Niners. And that's Michael Chane in a nutshell.
He just wants to piss people off, it like, and
so he's just like, go Niners. So we text all
the time during Niners games and we beat the Lions.

Speaker 3 (19:34):
He was like, I'm ask Lauren for tickets and I
was like, dude, please, And.

Speaker 1 (19:38):
Then Shane was out there doing bud Light shit and
Shane was like, I got to couch from my hotel room.
You can just crash my hotel room. He's like, fucking
a bud Light for another hotel room. And I was like,
because you know about the Super Bowl, the hardest thing
is hotel rooms. Yeah, and tickets, those are the two
hardest things to get. Chae comes through with that. Shane
comes through with the couch in his hotel room. And

(19:59):
he does a show with Burton Tom the night before
the Super Bowl in Vegas.

Speaker 2 (20:03):
I think I was there.

Speaker 3 (20:04):
I think you might have. And we're all hanging out
in the back and Nate Diaz and Shane are friends,
and I'm friends with some of Nate's friends and we're
talking and then Nate's like, Shane's like, Nate, this is Dan.
He's like, oh, you're a Niners fan.

Speaker 1 (20:17):
And I start talking about the Niners and I got
sown to it that Nate was like, okay, he just
left and I was like, I'm.

Speaker 3 (20:23):
Just passed out so hard. That was like, I'm good man.
I was like, no, I think honestly, we stopped the run.
I think there's like a real good chance, like they
bring in again, like our secondary they haven't seen he
f is the fucking yeah. No. I was just going
like like I think yeah, and they were like he
was like a man, and Shane walked over. I was like, chit,

(20:45):
I think I fucked up, But yeah, man, I mean
this is like, to me, this is my favorite forty
nine Ers team. Like everyone has their favorite SNL cast,
you know what I mean.

Speaker 2 (20:57):
Like arguably one of the greatest teams of all time.

Speaker 1 (21:00):
I mean, dude, number one, you got my favorite player
of all time, Ronnie Lotta.

Speaker 2 (21:03):
We'll get into that team. We'll get into that team.
What are your what are your thoughts? On these this
current Niners team, we're three and oh right now when
we're taping this, I don't know when we're delivering this.

Speaker 3 (21:11):
Yeah, next week.

Speaker 1 (21:13):
They're gonna be holding four and oh beating the Jags. Injuries, man,
I'm always nervous about injuries. And Bosa tearing his a
CL is like heartbreaking. I was telling you before we
sat down. Did not I got on the flight and
they were like, we don't know what it is, but
it's not an a c L. And you're like, thank
And I landed and it was like a CL.

Speaker 3 (21:33):
You're like, fuck.

Speaker 2 (21:34):
Hate when coaches talking fuck, can't let's not even just
give the people hope.

Speaker 3 (21:38):
It just it just crushed me. That hurts.

Speaker 2 (21:41):
You turn on your phone and you're like shit, shit, uh,
but that's gonna hurt him.

Speaker 1 (21:48):
Brock coming back, you know. I think Kittle will be
back in the next couple of weeks. I think it's
it's all about timing. It's all about timing, and if
we I think Sola running the defense field so relaxing
just to be like, oh, he's got this, he's gonna
dial something up. Seeing him that intensity on the sidelines.

(22:09):
As a Niners fan, it just feels great. It does
just to be like it feels like we have a
chance because I think the past couple of years, defense
has been the part where you're like, don't give it up,
don't get up, don't give it up.

Speaker 2 (22:24):
I mean, and they don't have the same players. They
have lesser players now because a lot of those guys left.

Speaker 3 (22:29):
Yeah, but I love d Winners stepping up for Drake Greenlaw. Yeah, winters.

Speaker 2 (22:33):
But the corners, we got to see what the corner
situation is.

Speaker 3 (22:35):
They're young. They're young in the backfield.

Speaker 2 (22:37):
I miss who f and anyone could be a good
corner when you have Nick Bosa on that edge, but
he's not gonna be there anymore.

Speaker 3 (22:43):
What do you think?

Speaker 2 (22:45):
You know? I I think right now that they have
three wins getting through this first quarter of the season.
That's how you break it down when you're playing, you
break the season down into quarters. Now that has seventeen
we whatever, but like the first quarter, there's this is
like about learning what your team does well, learning what
your team doesn't do well, and if you can collect
wins wall learning your team through these first eight weeks,

(23:09):
Like that's huge because like what you just said, it's
about timing on playing your best football at the end
of the year. Yeah, So the fact that they are
cleaning up right now in the division, collecting wins without
their guys, that's all a positive. It's just gonna be
on if they can continue that progress, because you know
Brock Purdy, he's gonna come in, He's gonna be a

(23:29):
different player.

Speaker 3 (23:30):
Yeah.

Speaker 2 (23:31):
That toe, we all forget that. The turf toe. It
retired the most athletic man, Deon Sanders. Turf toe is
nothing to play around. You ever get that? Never got that?
But I had bat I used to get the Jones fractures.
I'd break my fifth meta tarsal. Those are bad.

Speaker 1 (23:46):
But was there anything you guys did in New England
to time like warming up later in the season, did
you Was there anything like you know you're talking about,
like playing your best football at the right time. I
feel like you're the Patriots were exceptional at like kind
of similar to what the Chiefs do now, where they
just kind of hang around in the fight and then

(24:06):
you see him in December.

Speaker 2 (24:09):
Because that's because we were learn our team for those
first eight weeks. Because each year you have new coaches
and new players, no matter what this is National Football League.
There's always turnover every year, so you may lose a
guy here. You're trying to figure out what you have
to do to you know, protect this guy, make this
guy productive. How are we getting production? Are we giving

(24:30):
out tendencies of only ways of getting production?

Speaker 3 (24:33):
All? Right?

Speaker 2 (24:33):
Now, we got to work in this like that's how
it was in New England. Each week we were just
trying to win the game, but also trying to improve
our team and learn our team. So by the time
you get to week twelve, which I like to call
cream season, that's when the cream rises to the top.
You just get past that pasteurization period.

Speaker 1 (24:51):
There's a farmer somewhere that loves ball right now, that's like,
this is my whole shit that was possibly He's like,
there's an explosion at the flavor factory.

Speaker 2 (25:00):
Now there's dairy in my football. And if you're trying
to become a butter team but soft, that's when you know, like, dude,
that's when you see those teams exceed because all the
ship there, they learn their's their season along the line,
and they know what they're doing well and they know
what they got to stay away from. And then they
also had some stuff in the back pocket for when

(25:22):
these things have been working, no one ever sees.

Speaker 3 (25:24):
Yeah, and where you go, we got a little surprised, little.

Speaker 2 (25:26):
And a lot of it is also health.

Speaker 1 (25:28):
Yeah, if you can do it in the NFL, it
seems like health it's all. It's that's everything.

Speaker 2 (25:33):
That's what will you say, nothing more important than the
health of the.

Speaker 1 (25:35):
Team, especially like the I mean as a forty nine
er fan, you know, you just go like, come on,
it's everything.

Speaker 2 (25:41):
You go again, I don't what is what's wrong?

Speaker 3 (25:45):
Stop?

Speaker 2 (25:46):
What did you guys do?

Speaker 1 (25:47):
It's like that's like every week when someone goes down,
you're like, I'm sorry. As a fan, you take it personal.
You're like, I'm gonna stop eating cereal late. God's upset
at me. That's why George Kittle's hamstring got hurt, was
because I shouldn't have had a bowl Oko Chrispy Is
at two thirty in the morning, because that's the joint.

Speaker 2 (26:02):
Yeah, the superstition is real. But the thing is also
with you know the bad thing about the Niners. They've
been so they've been really good for the last five, seven,
eight years, right, so they play deep into those seasons.
So with when you have a lot of guys, a
lot of continuity, you play deep in the seasons, you
have less recovering the offseason, and they go to go

(26:25):
deep in the season like they have and not collect
the Super Bowl. That's tough because these things start to happen.
Injuries to older players will start to happen the older
they get. That's just how it goes.

Speaker 1 (26:37):
So the only solution is we'll just win the Ring
this year and then everyone will feel better and then
we'll stop getting.

Speaker 3 (26:42):
Injured, or yeah, you go, I think so.

Speaker 2 (26:46):
Yeah, I don't know, man.

Speaker 1 (26:47):
It is one of those things where it's the older
I get, the more I understand people getting injured. I'm like, dude,
I get up off my couch and I almost pull something.

Speaker 2 (26:55):
I feel like right now, like they're getting the Niners
are having a lot of success and Sian McCaffrey's touching
the ball lot. But that scares me because they're collecting
all these wins and is he going to be able
to do this? Yeah, because the numbers haven't told us
that he has and right now he's on pace to
break the record for all time touches in a season.

Speaker 1 (27:13):
Yeah, which you're like with a guy that is older,
that has had a history of indianties.

Speaker 2 (27:19):
That's so we would do this so like in New England,
I would start out hot with like thirty catches in
the first thirty five catches in the first three weeks,
four weeks. Then we would design where they wouldn't throw
to me for like two weeks and get tendencies somewhere
else and also take the load off of me. Yeah,
you know, like that's where play calling, medical staff, training

(27:42):
staff all comes into play. Like, yeah, you want to
fucking you want to ride the horse until he fucking dies.
But sometimes you got to bring that other horse trying
to get away and they take the second horseump to
the other guys, you gotta jump on the other horse,
chump to the other horse and some re dead type shit.

Speaker 1 (28:00):
Yeah, dude, it's almost like in baseball where they count
the pitches where you're almost kind of like a man,
we can't let you throw that much.

Speaker 3 (28:07):
I thought that's why they brought in Brian Robinson. That's huge,
like to bring him in when we got that trade.
Also it makes the forgns coming out to many men
with him and pretty ricky fucking sick. Yeah, you come on,
out to many men and it's like, I don't know
a team that's gonna sit.

Speaker 1 (28:24):
That's what I call him, Ricky. Ricky Pursol is the man.
I call him pretty Ricky. Every time he toose that.

Speaker 2 (28:28):
Ball, he does have like a swag about dude.

Speaker 3 (28:32):
He got shot in Union Square. Do we have a
video yet yet?

Speaker 1 (28:38):
But dud dude, he's the fucking man. He also is like,
my friend is a huge Florida fan, and when we
drafted him, he called me up. He's like, you guys
got a doll and I was like, and.

Speaker 3 (28:50):
Then he got shot and he played, and then now
he's a you know, also forgn Is getting a yuk bat,
like that's gonna be something that we're sees where they
don't know it's just gonna change. Also getting Juan Jenny,
it's third.

Speaker 2 (29:04):
And one without a doubt. But then it also, you know,
there's a fine line with that how much times he
had on task with Brock that time, So like.

Speaker 1 (29:12):
Yeah, you know, the relationships got to get back there.
We got to get back to it. But wise, like
he said, times.

Speaker 2 (29:18):
Up right, hopefully it does. Hopefully you get the injuries
out early and you get healthy at then that's how
it happens sometimes.

Speaker 3 (29:23):
Yeah, the NFL is this is It's why I love
it as a sport. It's emotional. You're like worried, you
like have a worry where you're like like, I play.

Speaker 1 (29:35):
Like I'm on my I'm on tour now. I'm starting
to tour as we're recording this this Thursday in LA.
But I'm kicking off the tour. But as as I'm
playing in the travel with the tour, I'm like, I
need to see the Niners. So I need to be
home in order to watch the Niners or go to
a game. I need to be able to, like I
play around the NFL season. Bill Burr was the first
one that did that. Oh yeah, when I was coming

(29:56):
He when I was coming up, he would talk about
in his podcast. He'd be like, no, I tour what
I go and I see NFL games that I want
to see And you're like, it's fun, smart, it's the
way to go, dude, but you eat a little juice.
You can't be doing that earlier in your career. I
want to go see a Niners game and they're like, dude,
you're not selling tickets.

Speaker 3 (30:11):
Sun a dick. Yeah, yeah, I'll shut the fuck up.
Sorry about that.

Speaker 4 (30:15):
So you can get you to load the mic a
little bit.

Speaker 3 (30:17):
Oh yeah, sure, lower lower.

Speaker 2 (30:19):
Yeah, sorry, we just want to see that pretty face.
That pretty face.

Speaker 3 (30:23):
I'm like Prince, you know, high behind it and on, man,
I miss Prince, dude.

Speaker 1 (30:30):
I've been watching old you know how the algorithm gets you.
They're showing me Prince clips of him just fucking whaling.
She's picking up guitars and being like, no, this little thing.

Speaker 2 (30:42):
He's like the best music. Like that's what people don't
I don't know.

Speaker 4 (30:46):
A halftime show two.

Speaker 3 (30:47):
Oh yeah, dude can hoop too and hoop hoop and
beat your ass and it gets you pancakes right after,
like I.

Speaker 1 (30:54):
Was giving you a finger roll. And then he's just
like I wrote a song about that. Yeah, I wrote
a song about just breaking your ankles and it would
be a song that you would want to fuck to,
which is weird, exactly about my ankle's getting snapped.

Speaker 2 (31:06):
But why am I horny?

Speaker 3 (31:09):
Anybody else notice after that.

Speaker 2 (31:11):
Song that we're all way hornier? Prince?

Speaker 3 (31:14):
How did you do that?

Speaker 2 (31:15):
He was?

Speaker 3 (31:15):
And he's just like a little guyrint song.

Speaker 1 (31:18):
I mean, I'm not like a giant Prince Guy. But
when I first heard the Foo Fighters cover Darling Nicky
and then I heard the original, I was like, yo,
this song is nasty. And then you listen. I mean
Purple Rains obviously everyone's favorite raspberry beret. There's just a
ton of stuff where you're just like he but he

(31:43):
just jams and he just put his tush out. He
used to wear little outfits or his little tushy was shot.

Speaker 2 (31:48):
He was like, I think he was. He was above
sexuality too, Yeah he was.

Speaker 1 (31:53):
He was like, yeah, whatever, man, He's like, cool, you
guys see my butt. You're gay for looking at my butt.
He's like, I don't even think that's the thing. No,
I won't even show my fiance my butt. Katie, I
have to like put up a towel and I don't
look at my droopy forty two year old ass.

Speaker 2 (32:08):
You do the you do the trainer towel piece.

Speaker 1 (32:12):
I feel like I should whatever. Like She's like, nah,
I'm like, I have a don't lie to me. I
know I have a gross ass.

Speaker 2 (32:19):
I referenced the trainer. That's the trainer. Uh put up
the sideline. Do you have two trainers on the side
holding while you're taking a piss.

Speaker 3 (32:27):
It's how many games did you pee in?

Speaker 2 (32:29):
I peed in a lot, really, yeah, because I would
always get IVS and I'd be overhydrated for games.

Speaker 3 (32:34):
So when there's a moment like so.

Speaker 2 (32:36):
I would go by the like you see where all
the phones are. Yeah, I go in between the phones
in the bench and you'd have two trainers and they
hold towels and you get on your knees and you
just piss.

Speaker 1 (32:47):
You know where I peeed like that where Candlestick Park,
Giants Dodgers. We're going back to my dad's little yellow bug.
And I had to piss. And he was like, pal,
you gott to piss under the car. I was like,
what do you mean?

Speaker 2 (32:57):
And I got on my knees and pissed. You didn't
do the open the and I did the.

Speaker 3 (33:05):
Baseball pose one knee down.

Speaker 2 (33:06):
Yeah, little t ball pose.

Speaker 1 (33:08):
But I fucking but I was just pulled my little
giant sweatpants down. I was just taking a piss. That
cool wind hit me.

Speaker 2 (33:15):
I remember being so humiliated, like going to Giants games
and you and they had the just the barrel pee dude.
The tub, yeah, the tub you have a tub in there.
I was like a little kid, and you do my
dad's when I so when I lived in Denver.

Speaker 1 (33:28):
Again, this is another reason why the Broncos thing is
my dad's half brother had he lived in Colorado, but uh,
and he had Broncos season tickets and he would take
me to Bronco games.

Speaker 3 (33:40):
Because his wife didn't care.

Speaker 1 (33:41):
So you'd be like, you want to go, and I'm like, dude,
I'll go to Broncos games, but I wear Niner shit
two forty nine and I remember old Mile High Stadium
had the tubs, and I remember being like seven years old,
being like, dude.

Speaker 2 (33:56):
What is this? You got, dude drunk?

Speaker 3 (34:00):
Ehere some guy touching you. You're like, whoa, yeah, He's
like yeah always the man. I love Bobby Humphries. And
You're like, oh, please.

Speaker 2 (34:09):
Don't touch me.

Speaker 3 (34:09):
Not a divider insight, Yeah, dude, no privacy, no privacy zero.

Speaker 4 (34:14):
The colors they gave me.

Speaker 2 (34:15):
It also made it kind of made you grow up
a little.

Speaker 3 (34:18):
Though it did, and.

Speaker 1 (34:20):
Some of us, now that we're older, can admit it
made a little some of us gun shy for a while,
and no one talked about this, and this is why
there's so much anger in the world is because men
weren't allowed to talk about the fact that you're putting
boys in this situation. And then we're not exactly some
of us are growing up without dads in the house,
so we're a little fucking we're not as you know

(34:42):
what I mean, You're you're gun shy. So then you
have to find the perfect pisser. And Candlestick Park, which
I still remember, was a bathroom where you'd go and
then it would wrap around and no one knew there
was a little stall right there.

Speaker 2 (34:52):
I would come down a level just to piss in
that bathroom. I used to sit because remember you didn't
grow I don't know if you went there, but you
had a safeway select can or it was like maybe
a milk curtain. You get like a five dollars ticket
to the Niners game, sick, and we would go to
the Niners game and they you know, where the stands
they would put the stands down because they had the

(35:13):
baseball configuration.

Speaker 3 (35:14):
Yeah, that's where they put the ko gorilla or the canbr.

Speaker 2 (35:18):
Guh yeah yeah, So they'd have that down like right here. Yeah,
and then you there was the horn right here, and
there's like seats right here, that you couldn't see the
other side of the field. Yeah, but that's where we
would always sit, really, and you would see the chain
link fence to under the tunnel and we'd just go
sit there and maybe see Brn Youngs.

Speaker 3 (35:37):
That's Cherry Rice or something like that.

Speaker 1 (35:39):
We were talking about this before, but I really think
the next time they build a stadium, it needs to
be in Candlestick Point again.

Speaker 2 (35:46):
Yeah, there's no shot.

Speaker 3 (35:48):
I know there's no shot. City won't do it.

Speaker 2 (35:50):
We'll be right back after this quick break. Let's let's
go back into time around where this game took place
January twenty eight, nineteen ninety and go over some of
the pop culture number one movie Driving Miss Daisy. I
don't remember that.

Speaker 3 (36:06):
Don't remember that?

Speaker 2 (36:07):
How am I supposed to live without you? Michael Bolton love?
I love a good Michael boy.

Speaker 1 (36:11):
You kidd me in a boy growing up in a
house with a mom going through a divorce.

Speaker 3 (36:15):
You think that wasn't on loosening triple Platinum balls.

Speaker 2 (36:22):
That shit, it's burned in my brain. That was.

Speaker 1 (36:26):
I surprised Trish wasn't putting holes in the drywalls onto
that trip. Dealing through bankruptcy gosh, just right to it. Yeah, dude,
you remember.

Speaker 2 (36:38):
That ghost Pretty Woman total recall, Teenage Mutant Ninja Turtles
were all popping off in the office.

Speaker 3 (36:44):
Okay, teenage Mutant Ninja Turtles. I'm saying, the best, the
best movie versus soundtrack unbelievable. Well, now number two has
been allayed? Was that number two?

Speaker 1 (36:52):
We're talking about the original, which is a little darker.
You got Casey Jones.

Speaker 2 (36:57):
Loved Casey Jones. I called Nate Ebner Casey Jones because
that movie like him. Yeah, I love that.

Speaker 1 (37:02):
You also, as at this point, I think I'm on
my I'm six going on seven, kind of understanding the
sexual attraction between April and Raphael A movie where you go.
I mean, in twenty twenty five, there'd be a group
online going loving a turtle man is exactly acceptable. But
in nineteen ninety year gone is this chi want to

(37:22):
fuck a turtle?

Speaker 2 (37:24):
You know what I mean?

Speaker 1 (37:25):
You're like a seven year old boy, You're like, hey,
this is funked up. I don't know, And I'm a
turtle guy. I'm a fan of all of the turtles.

Speaker 3 (37:33):
But you know, April really kind of want to wants
to fuck Raphael and he definitely does. Oh yeah, Casey
Jones is a human man.

Speaker 2 (37:42):
Listen.

Speaker 3 (37:42):
I'm sorry. I hate to get political.

Speaker 2 (37:44):
I think I saw total recall when this came out.
When I think I saw it, when it was like
maybe three years down the line. Five Shi, you saw
a three boob chick. Remember that three boob chick. That
was the first boobs. The second boobs I ever saw, teddies, dude,
the first boobs I ever saw were at Lake Barriessa.

grandma both died, Lake County.

all rum, very little cover, a touch of coke just
to just to give it. Yeah, you would make it
like a beige coke.

Speaker 2 (40:53):
Well, no, what was life like for Dan Soda in
nineteen ninety It.

Speaker 1 (40:56):
Was sick, dude. Honestly, Like I know, my parents were divorced,
but I lived.

Speaker 3 (41:00):
In Aurora, Colorado, suburbs of Denver, like literally just doing
suburban kid shit, riding bikes, you know what I mean.
When I would come out to the Bay. So I
went to year.

Speaker 1 (41:13):
Round elementary school, which very few people do growing up.
But it honestly, I think it's better than regular because
you go nine weeks on, three weeks off, so your
spring break is like three weeks off, right, then you
go nine weeks on again. Then your summer break is
six weeks instead of the full summer, so you only

(41:33):
get six weeks. But you go nine on, three off,
nine on six off for winter, so you get six
weeks in the winter. I was in San Francisco all
the time because my mom was working, and so she
just sent me out to the Bay area. Nah, we
didn't have the money to ski, so I would come
out to the Bay and it was like, I love.

(41:54):
My grandma lived in Green Bray in marin and so
my dad was living with her because of the car
and cokes, and then I would just chill with them.
I would just chill with them and go to the
liquor store and like hang out with him in Mill Valley. Yeah,
it was fucking sick, and the mafia was still very
much involved in.

Speaker 3 (42:11):
The garbage collection.

Speaker 1 (42:12):
Yeah, so we would get WWF tickets and forty nine
ers tickets from this kid, ted this like Italian kid
that clearly was associated somewhat. It was like this good
looking at Italian kid and he'd come by and like Gary,
my dad would be like, hey you doing, like.

Speaker 2 (42:27):
Hey, Dan's in town. You guys want to go see
the Niners.

Speaker 3 (42:29):
And then we would get seats that were fucking sick,
like fourteen row fifty yard line at Candlesticks. Jeesus.

Speaker 2 (42:36):
I got to see Steve Young.

Speaker 3 (42:37):
Start his first start in nineteen ninety three because it
shout out Teddy. I think it was against the Vikings,
but it was fucking awesome.

Speaker 2 (42:44):
So your who's your favorite wrestler?

Speaker 3 (42:45):
Back then, I was a I was a huge hook maniac.
Everyone was everyone, and then I.

Speaker 2 (42:50):
Came you did the wrestling pillows, Oh wrestling buddies?

Speaker 3 (42:53):
Yeah, yeah, yeah, dude. I had Ultimate Warrior and Hogan.
Those were the two that I had.

Speaker 1 (42:57):
But I remember the divisiveness of you're speaking around nineteen
ninety This was a year after Warrior versus Hogan and Wreussell, Maine. Yeah,
and that split the schoolyard more than anything. You saw
your Warriors kids who later were the coke addicts and
then the Hogan fans later the alcoholics. Feel like, really

(43:17):
saw all my friends that were super into Warrior.

Speaker 2 (43:20):
Had drug problems.

Speaker 1 (43:22):
Everybody that was in the Warrior Brown that was like,
oh shit, he got into blow in high school.

Speaker 2 (43:26):
I remember that.

Speaker 3 (43:27):
Yeah, I mean much. Yeah, they all brought that energy
to their fucking substance abuse.

Speaker 2 (43:35):
Yeah, dude, Rick Rick Flair guy.

Speaker 3 (43:37):
No, I wasn't into WCW until the nWo. I would
watch Saturday night. I would watch wc No one really was, yeah,
because it was like you would.

Speaker 2 (43:45):
I would watch WCW on Saturday on WW.

Speaker 1 (43:49):
Yeah he went to but he was that was surfer sting,
and then when they did the nWo angle, he became
the Crow.

Speaker 3 (43:55):
Yeah, and that was.

Speaker 1 (43:57):
Listen, you're getting Attitude era and you're getting nWo wrestling
at its peak, Monday Night Wars.

Speaker 2 (44:03):
I used to love that, and then I became really
because my brother is seven years older than me, so
he was more of that early generation. And then I
was like stone cold rock. Those were my gold.

Speaker 1 (44:13):
That was me in high school being like, they're right,
they're writing this for me. It's a little edgy, or
I'm not a kid anymore. I don't want those bright colors.
I want stone cold drinking beers and swing people degeneration.
At dude, that school my high school was on everyone's
high school was on fire.

Speaker 2 (44:28):
Got suspended for it. Yeah yeah, to a teacher it
and I will not suck it. Well, they didn't even

Lady, snitches, get stitches. Why are you fucking telling on kids?
What an asshole?

Speaker 3 (45:05):
Bad?

Speaker 1 (45:05):
In early If I knew that lady, if like later
she was like I saw a little boy doing something
and I went and told on him, I'd be like,
we're not friends anymore.

Speaker 3 (45:14):
No, you fucking suck that is why would you do that?
You get back, then you go. If I saw that,
I go, hey that kid, I'd be like every kid way.
Everyone was laughing about that kid. Someone I was walking by.
Uaw that, I go that kid's hilarious. Yeah saw that
he turned around. I sit down and let you know. Yeah, dude,

(45:34):
So I'll.

Speaker 1 (45:34):
Tell you right now. Nineteen ninety one. It was exactly
nineteen ninety one. My dad took me to cal Palace
to see WWF. It was a dark match. It was
Macho King Randy Savage first, the Ultimate Warrior. Oh yeah,
but it was I didn't like the macho man. Then
I hated him. But I got a styrofoam you were
cutting Nenttle Heavyweight Championship built. That was like my prize possession.

(45:58):
He bought me one of those like little belts.

Speaker 3 (46:00):
Dude.

Speaker 1 (46:00):
We rode the Marin Airliner because my dad had a
couple booies. So we weren't We weren't driving the cow Palace,
if you know what I mean, Julian. We were taking
the bus and then dude, Calthus, I swear to God, people,
you know, your brother will tell you this, Your dad
will tell you this. My dad used to drink giant
styrofoam beers like thirty two ouncers. Yeah, just Miller, like

(46:24):
ripping butts in.

Speaker 3 (46:25):
God yeah, watching wrestling. Yeah, he'd be like this. He
thought it was hilarious. He didn't get why I liked wrestling,
but he was like down with it. He was like,
this is funny.

Speaker 2 (46:34):
It's nineties, dude, it was so fun Now. What in
the nineties are your nineties? Kid? Yeah? Do you wish
we could bring back oh anything?

Speaker 1 (46:43):
No cell phones, no one going to their pocket and
looking down all the time, like I'm trying to do
that more and I'm realizing back then you just lived
like in the moment more. Yeah, and things were able
to like bring us together more. Yeah, because we all
weren't fractured in the little things so off like Michael
Bolton or like Ghost. Everyone would talk about it because

(47:04):
everyone would see it, and then you wouldn't have your
little sub reddit where you could break down the music
in the movie.

Speaker 3 (47:10):
Why is the music? It's like you watched it and
you're like, oh, do that movie is great?

Speaker 1 (47:14):
The guy killing him the piano, get off my train,
and everyone would have that shit. That's why we're incapable
of doing that now because everyone's fractured, so like it
was crazy. The World Series. Also, dude, if you remember
the Super Bowl back then, the halftime show was like
dogs catching frisbees. It was like a marching band.

Speaker 2 (47:33):
It wasn't like Janna Jackson's hit coming out.

Speaker 1 (47:35):
Yeah, you didn't see Titty Live man a lot of boys.
I understand why people rage against the machine if a
lot of boys first Titties was Janet Jackson and then they.

Speaker 3 (47:44):
Got in trouble for it.

Speaker 1 (47:45):
Yeah they did because I was I was like, I
was heavily drinking by that point, and I was like,
oh God, just get out of drink. I didn't even
give a shit. I was like, titty, eh whatever, right ever, Timberlake.
But nineteen ninety to me was like probably one of

(48:06):
the best years of my It was one of the
worst and best years of my life. My parents got divorced.
But when my dad moved back to the Bay, I
didn't understand. I loved it, yeah, because I was just like, like,
no offense to Denver.

Speaker 3 (48:17):
Denver's great to grow up. Yeah, it's a safe place
to grow up.

Speaker 1 (48:20):
But San Francisco in the fucking nineties might have been
the greatest city in the world.

Speaker 2 (48:25):
It's a It's just a cool melting pot of culture.
It was everything.

Speaker 1 (48:30):
It was like people could live all together in San
Francisco in a way that like, obviously the tech boom
really fucked up when all the money came in and
they like priced everyone out, but there was just this
feeling of like camaraderie in neighborhood and like the Niners
were a big part of huge. So were the Giants
and so were Like you could just wear Niners shit

(48:51):
and people would be like Niners and you'd be like
it was just it was I don't know.

Speaker 3 (48:56):
I loved spending.

Speaker 1 (48:57):
Like I said, those six weeks in the winter, I'd
come out for the summer and just being in the
Bay Area. That when I would go back to Denver
and again, you know, I got nothing but love for
the five to two a zero, I would be upset.
I would be like inconsolable for two weeks, being like
I gotta hang out with my mom and her boyfriend.

Speaker 3 (49:15):
Yeah.

Speaker 1 (49:15):
I was like, dude, I was hanging out at a
liquor store all day, eating kit cats, going to the arcade,
playing street fighter. It was the shit I loved. Nineteen
ninety nineteen ninety one. My grandma and my dad moved
up to Lake County in like ninety two.

obviously for jokes, but no offense. Going from Marin to
Lake County is holy shit.

Speaker 3 (50:46):

just too much of it though, But.

Speaker 3 (01:01:03):
Then he went to the Dodgers and you're kind of like, perfect, yeah,
fucking I hated he was a very easily hateable guy.

Speaker 1 (01:01:09):
But you know what, you know what it was the
Niners version of that was Sherman. It was being on
the legion of Boom and being like this might be
one of my most despised enemies of all time to
immediately being like Richard Sherman is the greatest player of
all time. Like I when he when Kyle and went
and got him the year the Seahawks didn't resign him,

(01:01:31):
I was like, I'm so on board with this.

Speaker 2 (01:01:34):
Yeah, I loved it.

Speaker 3 (01:01:36):
It was good for you guys. What are you thinking?

Speaker 4 (01:01:40):
What's going on over there?

Speaker 3 (01:01:40):
Yeah?

Speaker 2 (01:01:41):
I was thinking about then then this team had a giant.
Who was the giant that broke Montana? That was that
was in the That was the season after no. But
he was on this team, wasn't he was he?

Speaker 3 (01:01:54):
Oh?

Speaker 2 (01:01:54):
Bert?

Speaker 3 (01:01:55):
Yeah, yeah, came over.

Speaker 1 (01:01:56):
Oh they got they went and got it enemy because
you know what the I mean, that's the thing in
the NFL that happens, like you say, every year, the.

Speaker 3 (01:02:03):
The jim Bert, Jimbert, jim Burt.

Speaker 1 (01:02:05):
But I remember, for me, the one that sticks out
to me is Ken Norton Junior coming from the Cowboys
to the Niners and you being like number fifty one,
let's go.

Speaker 2 (01:02:14):
But I used to love when he would box hmb
he would box. Yeah, then he box the thing Burt
Hanks back in the day.

Speaker 3 (01:02:21):
Yeah, but you know we're thirty six at safety, which
our rookie is doing this year.

Speaker 2 (01:02:25):
Merton Hanks came and talked to us. A high school
loved Merton Hanks. But he was the guy that was
the arbitrator for when you got fined. Really, so anytime
you got fined with the league, you have to talk
to Merton Hanks, no way with your agent to see
what happened and see no way.

Speaker 3 (01:02:42):
Yeah, you have to give you the bad news every time.

Speaker 2 (01:02:45):
I'd always butter them up, Like, Bro, you came and
spoke to my high school and I begin like a
twenty thousand dollars fine head button someone or something, and
I'm like, hey, yeah, my head was a little weird,
Like now we got to give you this.

Speaker 1 (01:02:57):
That's so but that's so funny to have like a
random niner be it. Like you know, who fucking gave
me a parking ticket, Tim McDonald exactly.

Speaker 2 (01:03:06):
You're like, that's crazy. My fucking skin was showing. I
got seventy five hundred. Talk to Merton again. Nah, yes,
that's so funny.

Speaker 3 (01:03:14):
He's like, he drops, he drops a.

Speaker 2 (01:03:16):
Fine on you.

Speaker 3 (01:03:16):
Yeah, he's doing the Chickenman dance.

Speaker 1 (01:03:21):
Full dude, that's so far. I had no idea he
was the one that was given out.

Speaker 2 (01:03:27):
Arbitrator what do they call that? Is that what they
call him? Yeah?

Speaker 6 (01:03:29):
And then they're like like Jordy Nelson now is like
a fines officer, Yeah, officer.

Speaker 2 (01:03:34):
He represents NFLPA, whereas he represents Yeah, he's on your side.

Speaker 3 (01:03:39):
Yeah, he's the other way around. I remember that was
that happened three letters after m FLA.

Speaker 2 (01:03:46):
We'll be right back after this quick break, Jackie. Let's
break down these teams, all right, when we get into
the Broncos here real quick. These guys won eleven and five.
Ninth year of the Dan Reeves era. Had some great coordinators.
Chan Gaily lead the offense. Wade Phillips DC Waded already
and come in twenty some years played. Wade played at
a Super Bowl. Incredible.

Speaker 6 (01:04:03):
He's prepping for Montana, He's prepping for Brady, He's coaching
at Keep to leave. What a career, My god.

Speaker 3 (01:04:09):
Uh.

Speaker 6 (01:04:09):
Mike Shanahan was QB coach this year. We'll all remember
him later in the Broncos. This was also the seventh
year of l Way. He'd lost two Super Bowls by
this point. And this was a great defensive team as well.
Gave up a league low two hundred and twenty eight
points on the season. Three Hall of famers on this roster,
John Elway, Steve Atwater Rookie Defensive Player of the Year
this year as well.

Speaker 3 (01:04:29):
Atwater was gonna least I'm gonna tell you right now.

Speaker 1 (01:04:32):
Defensive backfield is what I remember the most about this
team because it was Dennis Smith, who was a hammer.
That guy would come in like and then.

Speaker 3 (01:04:39):
Yet Atwater Atwaters, I would say.

Speaker 2 (01:04:43):
He's like right behind me.

Speaker 3 (01:04:45):
Ronnie Lot Steve Atwater. I agree because he would. I mean,
they a hit.

Speaker 1 (01:04:51):
But all these things, like I watched at Water, I
remember Atwater and I think it was the Green Bay
super Bowl that the Broncos won. Came across the middle
and knocked out his own teammates.

Speaker 3 (01:05:00):
Oh yeah, really high.

Speaker 1 (01:05:02):
Yeah, he came and hit him, and you were like,
well that Water hitting anybody, You'd go like, oh.

Speaker 3 (01:05:06):
Yeah, you would.

Speaker 2 (01:05:07):
Always when I was a kid and you playing, you
were playing the best Pop Warner teams, their safeties would
have forty two and twenty seven.

Speaker 3 (01:05:14):
Yeah that's exactly it really is.

Speaker 2 (01:05:16):
It really did.

Speaker 3 (01:05:17):
Also, the nastiest player would be twenty one.

Speaker 2 (01:05:20):
Yeah the most.

Speaker 1 (01:05:22):
It was like the kid on the basketball team that
wore twenty three was like, okay, well you have to
be good to wear that. Yeah, Like twenty one was
always the kid on the team where you're like, swaggy
kid is gonna be nasty exactly. This was also the
Broncos on offense had. I just know this from all
my friend's rooms. The Three Amigos, which was Vance, Johnson, Ricky,

(01:05:44):
Natteel and uh Steve. I forget who the third one was,
but they would do. There was a poster that everybody
in Denver had and it was the Three Amigos and
it was the Broncos receivers and they would have sombreros
on on. I guarantee you Google you find it. With
this poster. Everybody had it in their basement in Denver.

(01:06:05):
You would walk downstairs be like, oh, three Amigos. But
they were like huge in Denver. In l Way, I
mean l Way, John Alway. There's a reason that he
had an entire strip of auto dealerships in Colorado. You
go down a wrap Ho road, it's like John Away, Toyota,
John Away, and Nielson John John Elway.

Speaker 3 (01:06:23):
There it is Markos.

Speaker 2 (01:06:25):
Who Van Vance, Johnson, Mark Jackson, Rickey, Teal.

Speaker 3 (01:06:28):
Rickey, the Teal, the Three Amigos. Dude, it's kind of
so that's a tight photo.

Speaker 1 (01:06:31):
Yeah, dude, you should see the poster. I'm not gonna lie.
Poster was kind of sick. It was them and just
like their pads, no jersey shirtless.

Speaker 2 (01:06:39):
With the sombrero. What was your niner poster?

Speaker 1 (01:06:42):
I had Jerry Rice poster, and I had I had
those banners. I had like a ton of like forty
nine or banners, Yeah, with the pennants pennants.

Speaker 2 (01:06:53):
Yeah.

Speaker 1 (01:06:53):
And then I had the giant forty nine or football
helmet from the Super Bowl that my dad dropped off.

Speaker 3 (01:06:59):
Wow. That was above my bed.

Speaker 2 (01:07:01):
That was we had. I had, so I had, so,
I had my my closet. I shared a room with
my brother. We have bunk beds, and above the closet
there was that little ceiling space, that little yeah strip,
and so we had there we had like a painting thing.
It was like an illustration of each play of the drive.

(01:07:22):
And you know what I mean, the fine John Taylor
with the catch. Yeah, it was like the coolest thing ever.

Speaker 1 (01:07:28):
Oh my god, you get you get Dwight Clark at
the very end. I mean that is like any forty
nine er fan. That's like a piece of art. Where
you go was the catch over it over the cowboy?

Speaker 3 (01:07:38):
No?

Speaker 2 (01:07:38):
It was it was it was the the drive against
the Bengals. Yeah, when John you had, like Jerry Rice,
why does Roger Craig, Why doesn't John Taylor. Get it
was a beast in this because you had the best
receiver all the time.

Speaker 3 (01:07:51):
Yeah, but I always remember being.

Speaker 2 (01:07:52):
Like John Taylor made some big freaking play.

Speaker 3 (01:07:54):
He was always the guy by the way when they
would double. When they would double Jerry, you go to John.

Speaker 2 (01:07:58):
Taylor or Brent Jones one thousand percent.

Speaker 1 (01:08:00):
But this Bronco team was was fun because there it is,
it is. That's the one that was in I swear
to God, every one of my friend's basements they had that.
I'm pretty sure McDaniel had that poster at his house
when I met.

Speaker 3 (01:08:13):
Him, Like everybody, every Bronco fan was how old when
you met him?

Speaker 2 (01:08:18):
Twelve? He moved.

Speaker 1 (01:08:19):
He moved from Greeley to Aurora seventh grade and I
met him my friend Jason.

Speaker 3 (01:08:25):
He knew he was going to be a coach.

Speaker 1 (01:08:26):
Dude, I knew he was going to do something because
he was obsessed with football in a way that I
was obsessed with comedy, like I would like nerd out
in ways that people would be like, I'm let's past
my interest level, and McDaniel would do that with football
and I love football, and I go, that's too rich
for my blood, Like you're like, you're in I'm talking
about media guides, like straight up read the media guides.

(01:08:50):
He would keep he had a magnet in his room
with the divisions and he would keep it updated. You'd
walk in his room and know who's at the top
of the NFC West through the AFC East.

Speaker 2 (01:09:00):
Wow.

Speaker 1 (01:09:01):
You just like walking and be like, oh shit. And
he would like he was very like love was good
at football. He was an undersized receiver but could catch,
was like great route runner, was like super committed to
playing football, and then I sucked. I was just funny.
So I was just like, hey, all right, whatever. I
like liked to play football, but I was like I
could hit, but outside of that, I was like, I'm

(01:09:22):
pretty useless. Yeah, but I was. I was a glue guy.
I was like very funny. I was a special teams.
I was the definition of a special teams. I was
like I would go wedge bust and that I'd just
be cracking shit on the sideline and then come in
for like a blitz play and they'd be like, all right.

Speaker 2 (01:09:38):
Cool, Yeah I lettered, but I knew I sucked.

Speaker 1 (01:09:41):
That was like the best part was being like I'm
just having fun and I think that made the people
that were good have more fun.

Speaker 2 (01:09:47):
You were you were definitely a dude's dude.

Speaker 3 (01:09:49):
Yeah. I was just like I didn't get I would
like we go to football camp and I prank phone call. Yeah.

Speaker 1 (01:09:54):
I was a substance kid dude. The second I started drinking,
I was like, you guys have phone football. I'm so
good at getting fucked up.

Speaker 2 (01:10:00):
You know what I mean.

Speaker 1 (01:10:01):
You're like, guys, this is fun. We've had a blast.
I'm gonna go get fucked up. Turns out I love
ripping SIGs and talking shit, so I'm gonna see you guys.
But McDaniel was always very committed to football. He was
like good at it, and then he went and played
at Yale and then uh, when he said he was
gonna coach, it was like when I told people I

(01:10:22):
was gonna do stand up where everyone was like, yeah,
we event we we saw this. So he was like
almost he did this like program with U. C.

Speaker 6 (01:10:30):
L A.

Speaker 3 (01:10:30):
And like kind of like learned how to and then
was an intern with the Broncos. Mike Shanahan had an
intern with the Broncos and then he will do like
he was obsessed with.

Speaker 1 (01:10:41):
Alex Gibbs, the O line coach from that Shanahan era,
because he implemented like zone blocking, that downhill toss they
used to row with TD back in like ninety eight
ninety seven where they just get.

Speaker 2 (01:10:53):
Howard Griffin call it a Taglin guard pool, you lay
the guy down. But because I I used to you
hear all the stories from the Niners perspective, and I
used to live those and then when I played in
New England, I used to bust Belichick's balls about the Giants,
about the Giants because he essentially invented the nickel defense

(01:11:13):
for the Niners. Really yeah, he had He's the first
guy to take out a linebacker bring in the third corner.
Parcels look at him like, what the fuck are you doing? Belichick?
And that's what the nickel was because of playing the Niners.
But he used to show the old film because of
that same play you said, the downhill toss tag Yeah,
tackling guard where they pull and you have the guy
to knock them down. And they still run it to

(01:11:34):
this day with.

Speaker 3 (01:11:35):
Christian everybody like it's a.

Speaker 2 (01:11:37):
And he and Bill would show us the footage of
like Lawrence Taylor, this is how you do it. You
have to blow up the blocker and fucking oh.

Speaker 1 (01:11:45):
My god, coming in like a missile miss because I
remember specifically about the downhill toss. McDaniel's favorite part was
Howard Griffin, the fullback for Tyrell Davis, leading that thing.
And that's why when Kyle Shanahan took over the Niners,
daniel was adamant about getting use check. Yeah, he was like, no,
you need a full back, and use check was with
Baltimore and McDaniel was like, I'm on Kyle uscheck. And

(01:12:08):
I mean, the guy's been I would put him as
an all time forty nine er in the likes of like, well,
I tell you right now, he's him and Rathman share
forty four in my mind.

Speaker 2 (01:12:16):
Getting over to the Niners roster. He's just like Tom
Rathman with the versatility. I mean, I think, did Tom
Rathman have over one hundred catches this year or something?
He had seventy three catches a full back in freaking
nineteen ninety. That's huge. That's like a hundred catches now, yeah,
seventy three for a full back. And that's what you
see with Uschek. You see the versatility where they could

(01:12:37):
put a huge personnel group, but you could still spread
the defense out wide because they have versatile players where
they can run these four verticals or these crazy screens
where you're getting big guys spread out in space. Yeah,
and that's the matchup everyone wants. Yeah, that's what the
forty nine ers try to do. That's what your boy
McDaniel's does.

Speaker 3 (01:12:54):
And yeah, I mean McDaniel does it still.

Speaker 1 (01:12:56):
You know when you see it run where you go like, oh,
And it's fun watching him, like you know, kind of
it's almost like songwriting in a little bit where you
see little fingerprints of their plays and you go, oh,
I love I love that you took this and kind
of mix because he's always about that.

Speaker 2 (01:13:10):
He's a great innovator.

Speaker 1 (01:13:11):
Yeah, even when when he was in San Francisco and
Kyle would just let him cook and he'd be like,
I want to do this. I got he would like
tell me about you know, because we would talk like personally,
be like, oh, what this play we're gonna play these
guys I think I kind of want to do this
to them, and I'm like, you're a fucking mad scientist.

Speaker 2 (01:13:26):
No, I mean, but he loved cooking, but what makes
him a great coach, is what you early earlier said
and everything is that his favorite guy was the offensive
line coach. Good offensive coordinators, yeah, half like everyone could
be a fucking play caller. Everyone could be like a
guy that, oh, we know how to do the concepts this,
But it's the guys that know how to teach the
blocking to get the concepts going, which is what makes

(01:13:48):
a good offensive coordinator. You got to have the offenseive
coordinator could sit with the line. Well, that's what he
did in Wash.

Speaker 1 (01:13:53):
You know, when Kyle brought him into Washington, he was
like McDaniel just went and sat with the old line.

Speaker 3 (01:13:58):
Yeah, and just learned everything exactly.

Speaker 1 (01:14:00):
Just built up from there because it is it's like
a good It's like I would imagine if you're a
good race car driver, you know how to fix your engine.
Not not all of them, That's what I mean. Col
Trickle had no idea still want of those. He dropped
that goddamn han.

Speaker 2 (01:14:12):
Hey he's going outside, he's going outside.

Speaker 3 (01:14:14):
Give me a squirt jacket. I'll run through a wall.

Speaker 2 (01:14:17):
Color mellow yellow, yellow yellow.

Speaker 3 (01:14:21):
I'll give me a mellow yellow jacket.

Speaker 2 (01:14:22):
Dude.

Speaker 3 (01:14:23):
It's time we start rocking those again. We got it
twenty twenty five. Gotta come back.

Speaker 2 (01:14:27):
Let's let's start fucking rocking. N gear had gold Parkers.
I love it. I bought.

Speaker 1 (01:14:32):
I bought a starter, a ninety three pullover yeah, on
eBay for like two hundred bucks, like ten years ago.
I got to get a dry clean Still it's it's ratty,
but I'm like, dude, when I bust this thing.

Speaker 2 (01:14:43):
Out, you probably flip that for some cash.

Speaker 1 (01:14:45):
I don't know. I'm holding on down. And see that
old logo, you see it. It's just like the way
I mean. This team right here was like.

Speaker 2 (01:14:53):
Jackie break down this too. He just hits different. Oh
my god.

Speaker 6 (01:14:55):
Fourteen and two the defending champs. Best record in the
NFL tea like unbelievable. Only two losses all season, coming
by a combined five points. Unbelievable. First year the George
seafferd era. We we got a shout out. Bill Walsh
been with him since seventy nine, pioneered that West Coast offense,
drafted Jerry and Joe built the dynasty, won three super Bowls.

(01:15:18):
We got to talk about Joe this season. Unbelievable MVP
year one hundred and twelve point four QBR record at
the time, Resley Walls rookie year. This is also a
roster that featured four Hall of famers Joe Jerry, Charles Haley,
Ronnie Lott, and you and Steve Young. We also got
to mention John Taylor put some shine on him. He
and Jerry were just an unbelievable due this.

Speaker 3 (01:15:38):
San Jones, Brent jon Man, I mean Brent Jones eighty four.
He was he had a favorite tight end. Yeah, he
had a he had a cult. He had a cult
following when I was a kid, Like, we all love
Brent Jones because the way he looked, cool as shit,
the way he would catch. He he was like a
receiver as a tight end.

Speaker 1 (01:15:56):
But it was like similar to like Shannon Sharp where
you start being at were like they're less I think
like back in the day they were more like o
linemen that occasionally would go out for a pass. But
this was like, oh, we had a receiver that would
be on the line and block down. Loved Brent Jones.
Also loved him and Tom Rathman were two of the
best at making a play and getting grass stuck in

(01:16:17):
your helme and then just getting right back on the
line and pulling it Out's got some epic ones where
he just is like, yeah, well he had he had
the bar down the middle. He had the bar down
the middle, which was, by the way, with the neck
roll under the jersey. We're getting an all stop territory
of it being pure badass.

Speaker 3 (01:16:39):
When I see a truck, a raised truck on tires.

Speaker 1 (01:16:43):
The human version of that is Mike Alstott of like,
you got the neck roll under the jersey, you got
the the Derek Thomas face mask.

Speaker 2 (01:16:51):
See I think of it, Yeah, I don't think I
think of it as like one of those old like
Blazers lifted, Yeah, because I know what you mean.

Speaker 3 (01:17:01):
It's larger like the old like the big heavy boxed Yeah,
it was not like it wasn't the Bronco.

Speaker 2 (01:17:08):
It was the Chevy version, the old Blazer. Yeah, because
you know, it's kind of like it's not like full lining,
which is a full pickup, but you could use you can.

Speaker 3 (01:17:17):
Get it's utility. Yeah you need to get off road.
You got fine. That's also built for city drives.

Speaker 2 (01:17:22):
It's built for city driving.

Speaker 3 (01:17:24):
If you want Mike Alstott built for city driving.

Speaker 2 (01:17:27):
We can get his ass money between the tackles, he'll
get money.

Speaker 3 (01:17:32):
Bro.

Speaker 6 (01:17:32):
Back to Dan's earlier point, though, one of the many
reasons to hate like the older ones, now you just
get an I mean, bro, yeah it sucks. What like
like turf, So we all talked about on here how
much we hate turf.

Speaker 2 (01:17:44):
Yeah, astro turf that is. Now you don't get the
you don't get the clump and the helmet.

Speaker 3 (01:17:48):
Get tired of those, Dude, that's Mike All Stop. Yeah,
that's one hundred per Mike all Start and Tom Rathman.
Next time I buy a car, this one would say
I want Tom Rathman or a Mike all Start to go,
excuse me, and you wouldn't get it. Yeah, yeah, you
don't know Ball saying that on the floor a dealership.
They're like, you know what are you talking?

Speaker 2 (01:18:09):
You can get you in to Tom Rathman today.

Speaker 3 (01:18:11):
We get you to we can get you to lovely.

Speaker 2 (01:18:13):
How do you sum up this team? Unstoppable? Unstoppable, unstoppable.

Speaker 1 (01:18:17):
This was a team where like you have like in
all right, So the next season after this nineteen ninety season,
that's obviously the New York Giants with Belichick and Parcels.
But at this point you don't really feel like anyone
can touch us. The Cowboys are god awful, They're rebuilding
at this point. The Giants aren't around really, and the

(01:18:39):
Niners are just like, who in the NFC is fucking
with us? No one in the NFL. The Rams with
with Everett. Yeah, don't call me Chris Everett, Jim, don't
call me.

Speaker 2 (01:18:51):
Chris Everett, christ the Ghost, the ghost sack. Yeah. Like
my so, my boy I lived with Matthew Say shut
out and his dad was Jackie Slater. Yeah, and like
he I always used to kill him about the ghost tuck. Yeah,
because his dad was the guy running the guy past him.

(01:19:12):
That's what you're supposed to do as a tackle. You
got to run the lineman past the spot. Sure, and this,
and the quarterback's got to step up. That's why. Yeah.

Speaker 3 (01:19:20):
And it's just.

Speaker 2 (01:19:23):
Amazing as you always going to do this because I
used to say, we used to as a Niner fan,
we used to circle the Rams as a guarantee.

Speaker 1 (01:19:33):
Oh my god, dude when they would come show up
with their fucking dumb yellow and blue. And I know
they tried going back to it when they moved back
to l A, but it was like I don't care
if you got Flipper Jones. I don't give a fuck
who you got. The Niners are gonna fuck your ship up,
That's what I mean. This is the height of no
one's fucking with us. We've yet thrown into the Cowboys

(01:19:56):
in a in a way that's gonna be a problem.
Green Giants and Green Bay aren't a problem yet. This
was like it, This was fourteen and two, like you said,
losing by a combined five points. No one's touching.

Speaker 2 (01:20:10):
Us, Mount Rushmore Niners.

Speaker 1 (01:20:12):
For me, Joe Montana, Steve Young, Ronnie Lot, the goat,
I mean, Jerry Rice. Yeah, so Jerry Rice, Joe Montana,
Steve Young, Ronnie a Lot. That's my four. But that's
that I mean. But I here's the problem with the
Niners thing. What's yours?

Speaker 2 (01:20:27):
Yeah?

Speaker 4 (01:20:28):
We never asked you that.

Speaker 3 (01:20:29):
I've never asked that.

Speaker 2 (01:20:31):
Mine's probably Joe yeah, Jerr Yeah, Ronnie Yeah.

Speaker 3 (01:20:39):
Who's that fourth spot?

Speaker 1 (01:20:41):
Because that's where it gets tricky, because God, I love
Steve Young, but I might have to.

Speaker 2 (01:20:46):
Go hate Charles Haley Haley don and then comes back
he I mean, he won three super Bowls with us,
didn't he?

Speaker 3 (01:20:54):
Yeah?

Speaker 2 (01:20:54):
And he was with The Cowboy two.

Speaker 3 (01:20:56):
Yeah.

Speaker 2 (01:20:57):
Charles Haley was my brother got man when we got
to him.

Speaker 3 (01:21:00):
Yeah.

Speaker 1 (01:21:00):
Absolutely, he had bad motherfucker when he was on the Cowboys.
That defense they had with Ken Norton Junior and Charles Aley.

Speaker 2 (01:21:08):
I love Norton, okay, but I wouldn't put him on
the He not on the on the I would almost
here's a crazy thing. I love Steve Young.

Speaker 3 (01:21:16):
Bill Walsh, yeah, Bill Wash, Britdan Lloyd.

Speaker 2 (01:21:18):
I would say, can I but if you got to
you gotta have one defensive guy in there. I'd put
de on there, but he was only there for one
and he and then he went to.

Speaker 1 (01:21:26):
And also we played Atlanta. We played Atlanta so much.
When Dion was truly Dion, I this is gonna, I
would say, I'm taking Steve Young off.

Speaker 3 (01:21:37):
Patrick Willis.

Speaker 1 (01:21:39):
Willis is to me as important as anybody in the
fort Niners franchise because he was there.

Speaker 2 (01:21:46):
We drafted him.

Speaker 1 (01:21:47):
When we sucked with Mike Nolan shout out my future
father in law with the same name. And then we
got good with Harball and you had that explosive dude,
that fucking defense. Super Bowl forty seven defense with Navarro
Bowman and fucking Patrick Willis, that whole squad justice.

Speaker 2 (01:22:06):
Fred Warner could be.

Speaker 1 (01:22:07):
Fred Warner might be on there. Here's the thing. I
could see a world in which I put George Kittle
in my Mount rushmore because I am a huge Kittle fan.

Speaker 2 (01:22:15):
I'm a huge Kittle fan too, And.

Speaker 1 (01:22:17):
I also see a world in where, like, here's the thing,
Fred Warner is a guy where I.

Speaker 2 (01:22:22):
Let's do that thing is you can't put him on.
You gotta have the harder.

Speaker 1 (01:22:26):
That's what I mean. And Patrick is tough with Willis,
but he got us. He got us out of ship
and to the super Bowl. And it's an argument that
it was just play calling. This is the reason we
didn't beat the Ravens because you got.

Speaker 3 (01:22:41):
Frank fucking Gore and you got four chances at the
end zone and you're gonna throw four fade routes to
Crabtree in the back corner. I'm sorry, but it's like,
Frank Gore might be a guy that I put on
the Mount Rushmoe, Frank, how do you not put Frank
Gord That guy was that's a that's a definitive forty
nine er.

Speaker 2 (01:22:58):
If he is, he more than because he played with
a lot of teams.

Speaker 3 (01:23:02):
But did he though, But.

Speaker 2 (01:23:05):
He had a run with the Bills when we used
to play with Oh yeah, I remember that, like eight
years with them. Damn he he just played a long time.

Speaker 1 (01:23:12):
I don't know, man, because there's guys that in the
modern era where I'm like, I loved them so much.
I don't think because we didn't win a Super Bowl,
they'll never get to that Mount Rushmore.

Speaker 2 (01:23:21):
He can't go to Mount But Patrick Willis.

Speaker 3 (01:23:23):
To me, I would take Steve Young off.

Speaker 2 (01:23:24):
They've done They've done linebacker right since Patrick.

Speaker 3 (01:23:27):
Willis, I mean Fred warner Is, I mean.

Speaker 2 (01:23:30):
Greenlaw, green Law. They now the winners.

Speaker 3 (01:23:33):
And it's just like.

Speaker 2 (01:23:33):
They have they do know how to do linebacker, which is.

Speaker 1 (01:23:36):
Which is very fun because I always loved the forty
nine ers linebackers Bill Romanowski, Lee Woodall had.

Speaker 2 (01:23:44):
I remember watching Romo's spit in the Stokes face.

Speaker 3 (01:23:48):
When he was on the Broncos yes nineteen ninety seven.

Speaker 1 (01:23:51):
I was what's crazy about that is that's again a
tough game for me because what you're watching right there
is you're watching the Broncos start to ascend. With former
offensive coordinator Mike Shanahan of the Niners taking over the Broncos.
So then it becomes the Broncos. At this point in
my life, I'm going like, well, I can cheer for
him because they have a bunch of forty nine ers.
Ed McCaffrey. Christian's dad was a forty nine er, was

(01:24:14):
a giant forty nine er, then a Bronco.

Speaker 3 (01:24:16):
Yeah, and I mean became the tows out of his
shoes yeah, and wouldn't wear pads in his legs.

Speaker 2 (01:24:22):
Eddios.

Speaker 3 (01:24:22):
I think I still have a box of cereal somewhere.
Do you have some eddios? Dude? When they won the
Super Bowl in ninety seven, they they sold eddios. He's
an all time net guy too. Yeah, oh yeah, he
had the.

Speaker 2 (01:24:32):
His son in Carolina looks like him, and then the
other one looks like the mom. Christian is clearly like
from the sprinting family because the grandpa is like a.

Speaker 3 (01:24:43):
World they're like crazy athletics.

Speaker 1 (01:24:45):
Yeah, and so I mean, I mean Christian might be
a guy that ends up being on the forty nine
or Mount Rushmore. Yeah, even though he spent the time
in Carolina. You're like, dude, I don't know man, use check,
but I would say my four so yours are Walsh.

Speaker 3 (01:25:00):
Montana, Lot, Jerry, Yeah, Minor Joe, Jerry, Ronnie and Frank
and uh Patrick Willis.

Speaker 5 (01:25:08):
Patrick will I like it for those teams where it's
just like Mount Rush.

Speaker 4 (01:25:12):
Yeah, it's like saying Mount Rush us.

Speaker 3 (01:25:14):
Guys, Yeah, you have to go top ten with Niners.

Speaker 2 (01:25:16):
Drop, Let's see what this game is about.

Speaker 6 (01:25:18):
Let's hit this thing. We're looking to go back to back.
Of course, we talked about that with the Niners. Denver,
on the other hand, lost to Super Bowls already lean
up to this, so they're kind of looking to get
the monkey off the back, so to speak. That way,
oh for two and super Bowls, they lost a franchise,
oh for three, giants.

Speaker 3 (01:25:33):
In the in the Redskins they.

Speaker 6 (01:25:36):
Lost both kind of butt whoopons, so they're looking to
get back in there and on the path playoff wise,
both number one seeds Denver eked by Pittsburgh a classic
l Way Bubby Bristol matchup.

Speaker 2 (01:25:49):
Yes the real heads.

Speaker 3 (01:25:51):
Remember then Brister ends up becoming the backup for John.

Speaker 2 (01:25:55):
Incredible, that's nuts.

Speaker 6 (01:25:56):
I took him down in the divisional round, went into Cleveland,
beat Cleveland and me or no. Cleveland came there beat
them by two scores. Then meanwhile, San Francisco just cake
like made.

Speaker 3 (01:26:05):
It look easy. This is what I made it look easy.
This is what I mean by this is the last
of us being just there's no one even in our league.
You got the Rams beating the Giants. We were worried
about the Rams.

Speaker 1 (01:26:16):
Look at that thirty to three, and Minnesota was like,
let's get our backup sometime.

Speaker 3 (01:26:22):
Minnesota, well, they've always They've always been there.

Speaker 1 (01:26:27):
And then you have the most heartbreaking, which is the
ninety eight NFC Championship game, the craziest I was at.
So I was at that AFC Championship game. It was
because because my uncle it was Jets at Broncos. My
uncle's wife didn't want to go, and I was like, dude,
I'll absolutely go to Broncos Jets.

Speaker 2 (01:26:48):
I'll absolutely go.

Speaker 1 (01:26:48):
To an AFC championship game one hundred percent. So I
went with them. And that was the second game, and
everybody at my Ole High Stadium was watching the Vikings Falcons,
and the Vikings missed that field goal. Mile High Stadium
went nuts because they were like, oh, Broncos went. I
think the feeling was like, we'll beat the thirty birds,

(01:27:09):
no problem.

Speaker 2 (01:27:10):
Scott Chandler was his name, Yeah, it was Chris Chandler.
Chris Chandler, Jamal Jamerson, thirty bird. Yeah.

Speaker 3 (01:27:16):
And who was their tiny white.

Speaker 2 (01:27:19):
Receipt they had? They were no, they didn't.

Speaker 1 (01:27:21):
Know they had that. Ninety eight Atlanta team was fun.
They had a I mean they beat the Niners, which.

Speaker 3 (01:27:27):
Tim White did. Yeah, I think it might have been
it was Tim Dwight, Yeah, Tim dwighte. It was Tim
Dwighton was Tim, yeah, dude.

Speaker 1 (01:27:33):
And that was but but this was like this forty
nine Ers team.

Speaker 3 (01:27:37):
No one's fucking with them.

Speaker 2 (01:27:38):
It was good. One look at Montana stats, insane twenty
two or twenty nine five tds. Oh my god, that's
such an But that's that's what the West Coast looks
like now. When when the quarterback does well under thirty attempts, yeah,
very high efficient tea probably has a good running like six.
They had twenty carries for sixty nine yards, so they

(01:27:59):
probably called the play, right. I mean, it's just I
watched these Niners teams and I see all these West
Coast coaches nowadays running the same goddamn shit. Yeah, McDaniels
throws a little or McDaniel throws a little bubble or
a little wrinkle in with all his new screen emotion. Shit,
and that's why they get different. But it's the same plays.

(01:28:20):
It's funny, it's crazy. It's the same way they want
to win. They want to play from ahead, they want
to eat the clock. They want to not throw over
thirty five times.

Speaker 1 (01:28:28):
But establish the run then throw it over their heads
when they bring it in eight in the box and
you watch it. It's so crazy to know that we
were little kids watching basically the modern NFL be born
with Bill Walsh going like, well, why can't my fullback
catch a bunch out of the backfield. Why isn't a
checkdown not only to a receiver doing a ten and out,
but maybe someone in the flats just dumping little dump passes.

Speaker 2 (01:28:50):
Everyone goes deep and'll hit them catch and run.

Speaker 3 (01:28:52):
Oh dude, it's great.

Speaker 2 (01:28:53):
It's what this This was predicated off catch and run
so much.

Speaker 3 (01:28:56):
Yeah.

Speaker 2 (01:28:56):
I watched this America's game on this this team, and
they talked about up the slant route for like three
minutes of a forty five minute thing. Yeah it is
because yeah, John Taylor, Jerry Rice hit these little shallow
cross slants and just outrun everyone by never getting caught
from home and by the way.

Speaker 1 (01:29:10):
This was this was one of those ones where when
you watch the highlights, most of the highlights are Jerry
running away from some it's just like, oh, he got
to catch and he's it's that him running and like
looking with the open arms when you're like, oh, this
was what I mean watching this. I think my mom
my mom's Super Bowl party was over by halftime. Ye
twenty six three, yeah, twenty seven three a half. Everyone

(01:29:32):
was like, all right, I think you know we're gonna
beat the traffic.

Speaker 3 (01:29:36):
That's what they said against the Patriots too, though.

Speaker 1 (01:29:39):
Nobody believe you know what I said that, You guys
may made me eat my words. I go, oh, McDaniels
gonna get a Super Bowl ring because he was on
that Atlanta he was the receivers coach. He and I went, oh,
Mike's gonna get a Super Bowl ring, And I went
Katie was at.

Speaker 2 (01:29:57):
Fox Sports, Yeah, and she was.

Speaker 1 (01:29:59):
She did a halftime hit and they were like, you
guys were you guys were down and they were like, hey,
we can get you into the game. And she was
like such a Patriots fan and she's like, yeah, I'll
go watch, and then she was like, just watch the
greatest comeback of all time. I mean, that is the
greatest comeback of all time. It's just like a thing
where you're watching it, it's I'm still in disbelief that

(01:30:19):
you guys came back.

Speaker 2 (01:30:20):
I get in disbelief when I watch it. I mean,
but when I played it, it wasn't like you.

Speaker 3 (01:30:25):
Guys were just like marching forward every play. We just didn't.

Speaker 2 (01:30:29):
We were making mistakes in the first half. It wasn't
like we weren't driving the ball. Sure, and we drove
the ball in the red area three times or twice
and threw pick six and fumbled. Dude, you know, like
if we were giving them stuff.

Speaker 1 (01:30:40):
And the season after when McDaniels in San Francisco and
we're in we're in San Jose at his apartment, you know,
like the apartment he's hunting when they first got there
and we're just eating pizza and they were chilling. And
I always asked McDaniel about, like guys he coaches, Like,
who do you think is the biggest any He's like,
he's telling me about Julio Jones. He's like this dude,

(01:31:01):
you have no idea. He's like he could just stop
on a dime. He's like, he's got the most athletics.
And then we're just like, there's like a pause in
the conversation and he goes, do you want to see
the losers ring?

Speaker 2 (01:31:11):
You know?

Speaker 3 (01:31:11):
Yeah, and he showed me the Falcons energy. But just
like the way he went, you want to see the losers?
I was like, he's got some comedic delivery.

Speaker 2 (01:31:21):
He's always been. Yeah, people are a little stressed out lately,
but I mean, I.

Speaker 1 (01:31:25):
Want the boy to sleep. I was watching that game
against the Bills. I'm like, I wanted to go, guys,
give him an hour to nap.

Speaker 2 (01:31:32):
It's some of the men eat and take it. When
you watched Obama in his first gray hair and then
you see him at it at the end, how fucking
the presidency?

Speaker 3 (01:31:41):
The ship out of you?

Speaker 2 (01:31:41):
We w NFL coaching Age's a funk out of you, dude.
It's crazy.

Speaker 1 (01:31:45):
We went for a wedding down in Florida and we
went a little early to hang out with Mike and
his wife and his daughter, and we were hanging out
and Katie's only seen Mike during the football season. Yeah,
that's it for our friendship. We go to Dolphins and
she hates going. She just wear like neutral because she's
a Pats fan. She's like, I ain't fucking putting on a
Dolphin shit. And then we go down there. But like,
we talked to Mike after the game and hang out,

(01:32:06):
but he's so zapped that when we went down the
off season, she was like, man, that was fun hanging
out with him, Like I never had to hang out
with him.

Speaker 3 (01:32:13):
I'm like, yeah, he's the best.

Speaker 1 (01:32:15):
And she's like, damn, dude, coaching just stresses the fun
out of people. It does, But you know what I mean,
Like when we're talking about this dude, first off on
the call, Pat Summer all on John Madden can't get.

Speaker 2 (01:32:25):
Much better than that. That doesn't This is this is
a CBS. This is before Fox. Yeah, this was Fox
came in ninety four. Was this NBC or CBS? This
is CBS. He had, dude that like the classic summer.

Speaker 1 (01:32:37):
All forty five to the forty to the thirty five,
the way you'd count it down. Yeah, I think of
when I think of Pat Summer all on John Madden,
I think of specifically.

Speaker 2 (01:32:45):
Forty nine Ers, Cowboys, I think of that. I think
I I mean, we growing up as Aners fan, you
watched Fox all the time because NFC was always on Fox,
So I just.

Speaker 3 (01:32:55):
Oh, yes, had afcir John Mennon drawn the guy weird?

Speaker 2 (01:32:59):
Look right here, get off.

Speaker 3 (01:33:03):
Here's a guy. Here's a guy, and you're like, he's
the best, dude, he was the best.

Speaker 2 (01:33:09):
What about Dan Reeves in a suit for this.

Speaker 4 (01:33:11):
Kid, Mike?

Speaker 1 (01:33:14):
The Niners used to rock the suit. But I'm sorry,
you wear a suit to get your ass kicked? That sucks,
by the way, He's.

Speaker 2 (01:33:21):
Not really if you think of it, if the logic
behind it, because then you don't even have to shower.

Speaker 3 (01:33:24):
When you leave.

Speaker 2 (01:33:25):
True, you just look good, you're just all right, well
you don't want to change.

Speaker 1 (01:33:29):
But on the wrong side of that, you go, yeah,
maybe I'm I'm arguing against myself here, but having a
suit when you start getting.

Speaker 3 (01:33:37):
Blown out like it's a visual yeah, he's like, I'm
telling you know, you know who's not giving me any
respect right now?

Speaker 2 (01:33:46):
It was Bill Walsh. I'm telling it.

Speaker 1 (01:33:48):
We can't even lock down John Taylor. I think we
got Jenny Rice covered. Then you gotta worry about Brent Jones.
Did Rodney Dangerfield coaching the Broncos John Alway. You know
the guy wants to save the game.

Speaker 2 (01:33:59):
What is he?

Speaker 1 (01:33:59):
A ton of the twenty six I'm telling you, I
get no respect. We got Bobby Humphrey. I don't know
if he's running from the forty nine ers defensive the
police for a d y clung it up. I'm not wrong.
Bobby Humphrey number twenty six. I traded for his starting lineup.
It was one of the biggest regrets I've having my childhood.

(01:34:21):
Someone talked me into trading a a Bernie Kozar for
a Joe Montana starting lineup, A Bobby Humphrey for like
a Marshal Walker.

Speaker 3 (01:34:30):
No remember the starting lineup the little figures.

Speaker 2 (01:34:32):
We got.

Speaker 3 (01:34:35):
M toy or whatever.

Speaker 1 (01:34:38):
But like the little toys, little starting telling me you
lose the helmet immediately.

Speaker 4 (01:34:42):
Yeah, no, dude, Montan went over here.

Speaker 2 (01:34:44):
I love starting lineup. Man.

Speaker 3 (01:34:46):
Older kid fleeced me into it.

Speaker 1 (01:34:48):
He's like, dude, I'll give you Bernie Cozar, Bobby Humphrey
and Howie Long for like Joe Montana and I traded
it and I was like, wait a minute, I just gave.

Speaker 2 (01:34:59):
It's kind of like you're It's kind of like when
you're fantasy football and you're you're you're drafting up a
trade to your boys, yeah, and you're like, Oh, I
really want this player, so I'll gi him this. This
is this is Then you you gotta press look at
the trade and you're.

Speaker 3 (01:35:10):
Like, what the heck? Was I thinking? What did you
do to me?

Speaker 2 (01:35:14):
That was you last week trying to get me? What
are you talking about?

Speaker 1 (01:35:17):
I had that one. The one I gave up was
the one in him and the red him in the
red jersey was going I traded, but I got that
one for a birthday gift and I never gave that
one up.

Speaker 3 (01:35:28):
Shout out, dude, starting lineups.

Speaker 2 (01:35:29):
Man, we'll be right back after this quick break, just
the best break down this game. Bring them back, baby,
bring them back. All right. We talked about this a
little bit earlier.

Speaker 6 (01:35:38):
These Niners gotta start fast, gotta start from ahead, get
out there with an eight play drive that ends in
kind of what is the the the moment in this
game that sends into my head Jerry on that twenty
yard TD bouncing off.

Speaker 2 (01:35:50):
At water because he goes these safeties.

Speaker 6 (01:35:52):
When they were scotting him. They don't like to wrap up.
I don't like they bring the boom. They don't wrap
up in case in point right there. And then Jerry's
into the end zone, arms up, and we know this
thing's about to be over.

Speaker 3 (01:36:02):
Baby.

Speaker 2 (01:36:03):
That was getting started fast and in and fast.

Speaker 1 (01:36:05):
That was the that's the shot that you think about,
is the arms up on that TV and you go like,
we're about to rip these motherfuckers.

Speaker 6 (01:36:12):
And then this was also in the error when that
way he was a little shift here, baby, he could
move outside the packet.

Speaker 3 (01:36:17):
Yeah.

Speaker 6 (01:36:17):
So it was big keeping him in the pocket, and
contained did that very well early on.

Speaker 1 (01:36:21):
He was a guy that that was. Tom Brady reminded
me of that when he first started where he goes.
No one talks about Tom Brady running, but he picks
up first downs in the way that Elway would pick
up first down where you just go, I just need six,
all run for seven and then I'm out and you're
not gonna hit me. He wasn't like Bledsoe, who's like
hit me, I dare you. Brady was like, good, I'm
out And Elway was good at that until the the helicon,

(01:36:44):
but that was just I'm not losing again.

Speaker 2 (01:36:46):
Yeah, that's older. That old, but this way, you're right, wasn't.

Speaker 3 (01:36:50):
Yeah, he'd pull, he'd pull the ball and run.

Speaker 6 (01:36:53):
Yeah, that was that was a big part of the
game plan, they said, keeping him in the pocket and
contained uh wait, comes back with a little ten blade.
Maybe this thing get a little life seven three Montana
to Brent Jones thirteen three.

Speaker 3 (01:37:04):
Then we move into the second Bright John Jones, Bright Jones.

Speaker 6 (01:37:09):
Rathman and Rice tack On TDS in the second twenty
seven to three.

Speaker 2 (01:37:13):
At the halftime, I mean just by and this was
that the halftime show. Oh, it was terrible.

Speaker 3 (01:37:20):
No, it was a tribute. It was something look it.

Speaker 6 (01:37:22):
Up Pete Fountain, Doug Kershaw and Irma Thomas.

Speaker 2 (01:37:26):
But what were they doing.

Speaker 1 (01:37:27):
It was like they were doing like a an ode
to something. It was something like so corny that you
would be like, we would never allow that at a
Super Bowl.

Speaker 2 (01:37:36):
Now, I'm not showing any uh yeah, any titty.

Speaker 1 (01:37:38):
I forget what it was, but it was very funny. Yeah, dude,
halftime shows back then were like can you.

Speaker 2 (01:37:43):
Play the flute? Oh god? It was a salute to
New Orleans.

Speaker 6 (01:37:46):
In the fortieth anniversary, that's of the comic strip Peanuts, Peanuts.

Speaker 1 (01:37:50):
They were doing a Peanuts thing, so they're going they
were playing like they had they had and all them
dancing out there like the Peanuts kids.

Speaker 6 (01:38:00):
Oh my god, Charlie Brown, Charlie Brown's big super Bowl.
That's crazy, bro, that is insane. And then all the
give a little love here. The coin toss was tight.
Uncle Terry was out there, Artshell, Willie Wood, Mel Blunt.
We had some star power out for the starting line
up in Terry. Speaking of Uncle Terry was quite prophetic

(01:38:21):
on this one. He said, if they're not carefully, it
could be fifty five to three at the half. Really,
that's what Terry said.

Speaker 3 (01:38:26):
He's on record of saying that.

Speaker 2 (01:38:28):
Not quite right. But final score, dude, guy knew it.
Terry knows ball, dude. And this Niners team was just loaded.
This is a blowout, this blowout. When did you know
at six years old this game was over?

Speaker 3 (01:38:39):
Man Probably when my mom was having more Manhattans than normal.
I think by halftime I was kind of like I
understood when probably by like the end of the third
quarter that I finally recognized as six year old child,
that cheering is mean. It was. It was the Simpsons thing.
Where it's like stop, they're already and I was like sacking.

Speaker 1 (01:39:01):
And I remember them not even like at first, you know,
we're talking thirteen to three.

Speaker 2 (01:39:06):
They're like, get out of here, Get out of e kid,
go Broncos. Shut up kid.

Speaker 1 (01:39:10):
And then by the third quarter they're like, Trish, your
son's doing it again.

Speaker 4 (01:39:13):
They're like, get a man, No, what was one day
going to school? What was that like?

Speaker 3 (01:39:19):
For?

Speaker 2 (01:39:19):
It was the best?

Speaker 1 (01:39:19):
It was, dude, put me in You might as well
have put me in a Red Wings jersey like Tupac
because I was spitting it kids. I was like, what's up, dude?
Going going to school in a forty nine er shirt?
Ready for a fight?

Speaker 3 (01:39:32):
Did you?

Speaker 1 (01:39:34):
Yeah, dude, I would love to rub in the face
when the forty nine ers would win everybody in school.

Speaker 2 (01:39:39):
I mean, that was the king, though you guys beat
him in the Super Bowl.

Speaker 3 (01:39:42):
I remember two kids specifically that I grew up with
thinking that Joe John Elway was better than Joe Montana,
and I remember just jawn at them for a while
after just Super Bowl fifty five ten, that was what
you would say to chips were down?

Speaker 2 (01:39:59):
What happened? John L.

Speaker 1 (01:40:00):
Waivers, Joe Montana fifty five fifty times. It's the score
that's in my head because I talk so much shit
with it that I will never forget this super Bowl
twenty four score because of walking around going fifty fift
ten at daycare, fifty fift.

Speaker 3 (01:40:14):
Ten using that six sad five ten?

Speaker 2 (01:40:21):
What are you going to?

Speaker 3 (01:40:21):
Are you not?

Speaker 1 (01:40:22):
Even people are going home in the third quarter. This
isn't an argument of Joe Montana has a quicker release point,
he's got more accuracy.

Speaker 3 (01:40:29):
Fifth fifty five. Joe Montana put it on you with
five touchdowns. Also, isn't this like one of the only
Super Bowl MVPs that Joe got like four he got
I thought Jerry got one, one, he got three? Did
he get three?

Speaker 2 (01:40:46):
Yeah?

Speaker 3 (01:40:47):
I think he got three right this?

Speaker 2 (01:40:49):
Yeah? Yeah, he was super Bowl ANDV I mean look
at that, you got three, Joe got three. I mean
that's tough. That's the thing.

Speaker 6 (01:40:54):
There could be the argument here, speaking of stat lines, here,
Jerry seven catches on hundred forty eighty three tudies.

Speaker 1 (01:41:00):
Do you think if he gets ten receptions they go
ten receptions and one more touchdown?

Speaker 3 (01:41:07):
Do you think they go.

Speaker 2 (01:41:09):
If he had if he if if Montana distributes out
to more than three receivers. How many touchdowns were through
how many different receivers?

Speaker 1 (01:41:18):
It was five touchdowns. Three went to Jerry, one went
to Rathman, one went to Brent Jones.

Speaker 2 (01:41:23):
And that's hard.

Speaker 3 (01:41:24):
That's why Taylor.

Speaker 1 (01:41:26):
Yeah, uh, Montana to Brent Jones extends it. So he's
got one to Jones. So did Rathman get.

Speaker 2 (01:41:32):
The rushing touchdown?

Speaker 3 (01:41:32):
He got a rushing touchdown, That's what it was. So
John Taylor got one?

Speaker 2 (01:41:35):
Yeah, John Taylor. So there's three different receivers that got
three different That means he's dissecting.

Speaker 3 (01:41:40):
Yeah, he's going like, oh, that's fine.

Speaker 2 (01:41:41):
That's how the if if you hit more than three receivers,
they'll always get to the quarterback. I was going through
his because you're they're saying spread spreading.

Speaker 3 (01:41:49):
Yeah. But then if you like, because Jerry the one
he got it, he had like two hundred yards or
it was insane? Did he still a crazy stat? That
is insane?

Speaker 1 (01:41:57):
Seven with three touchdowns? What do you meet playing college
football twenty twenty six?

Speaker 6 (01:42:02):
It's Jerry had eleven catches, two hundred fifteen yards, and
a touchdown in the Super Bowl. He got MVBN he
had one in saying he had eleven catches, two hundred
and fifteen yards and a touchdown.

Speaker 2 (01:42:12):
That's what it is.

Speaker 1 (01:42:13):
I think the over ten catches is like, oh, you
were fucking putting it in. Yeah, that's like that's like
a running back getting over one hundred. I think I
had ten, yeah when you got yours? Yeah yeah, I
mean I.

Speaker 3 (01:42:23):
Think it was ten. No tugs though, I had no tugs.
But that doesn't matter. You got a Super Bowl MVP.

Speaker 2 (01:42:30):
Yeah, but no tugs, there was any tugs?

Speaker 5 (01:42:33):
Give us John always that line ten for twenty six,
one hundred and eight yards two or something.

Speaker 2 (01:42:36):
Yeah, that's all you gotta say to your friend twenty six?

Speaker 3 (01:42:39):
What do you got twenty six? Follow the math? Follow
the math?

Speaker 2 (01:42:45):
What's after? Bad that?

Speaker 3 (01:42:46):
This job? Oh?

Speaker 6 (01:42:47):
Oh my gosh, Joe wins Super Bowl MVP. This should
become the biggest blowout in Super Bowl history. Fifty five ten,
fifty five ten. San Francisco would go on and lose
in the nineteen ninety NFC Championship, preventing the three peat.

Speaker 1 (01:43:00):
In by the way, came down to a last second
field goal, just like the way the Giants won the
Super Bowl. People forget that the forty nine.

Speaker 3 (01:43:06):
Ers and they were running the clock out in Roger
Craig fumbled.

Speaker 2 (01:43:09):
Yeah, a guy who never fumbled, never fumbled, and it
was like a weird fumble.

Speaker 3 (01:43:13):
And it was It was one of those things where
you just went that was destiny with with Giants hitting
the kick again and Norwood missing.

Speaker 2 (01:43:22):
I mean, it's like, all right, Destiny ship. They had
Bond Jovi on their side. They couldn't lose. Oh man.

Speaker 6 (01:43:28):
This was also kind of the last hurrah for for
Joe in a sense, got hurt bad in that in
that NFC title game.

Speaker 3 (01:43:34):
Back Yeah, back Spinal.

Speaker 1 (01:43:38):
So they show it in the documentary where his head
goes off the AstroTurf at the Old Meadowlands.

Speaker 3 (01:43:42):
You're like, oh my god, those guys were concrete, dude.

Speaker 2 (01:43:46):
Yeah, carpet over. I feel soft when I watched them.
You're like, oh, you played hard. You you played in
a league where they were still there was until like marketing.

Speaker 3 (01:43:55):
Wasn't a thing when you were in there at.

Speaker 2 (01:43:57):
First, Like in my like sixth year, they started really
shutting down on it.

Speaker 3 (01:44:01):
Yeah, but you had those six years.

Speaker 2 (01:44:03):
Six years where I got decapitated.

Speaker 3 (01:44:07):
Really bad, dude.

Speaker 2 (01:44:08):
She got blitzed by Ed Reid a few times.

Speaker 3 (01:44:10):
Who hit you the hardest? Uh that you remember?

Speaker 2 (01:44:15):
There's a time ray lewis we we we we we
kind we worked together.

Speaker 3 (01:44:22):
That's the funniest way. I'm saying you got hit and
say we worked. But it's fun also to think, like
you guys on the football field, like that's an old
co worker mine. He smashed me, but we worked together
at the NFL.

Speaker 2 (01:44:35):
The company was.

Speaker 5 (01:44:36):
Then start referring to other NFL places, coworkers, colleges.

Speaker 3 (01:44:41):
We were co workers in the NFL together, and.

Speaker 2 (01:44:44):
You he know, he hit me so hard on Hellodi Nada.
I got up and I remembering hello, He's not like, hey,
your sidelines that way? Oh fuck, It's crazy, But I
don't know. I never I think those uh injury hit
me really hard once. Yeah, the kid from the safe
remember like big ass safety from the Jets. Yeah, he

(01:45:05):
knocked me out of a game once. I cut back
into pursuit and he caught me not seeing it.

Speaker 3 (01:45:09):
And then you're like, well that is.

Speaker 2 (01:45:11):
Control delete dude. You just remember until you get to
the sea. Yeah.

Speaker 1 (01:45:15):
If I were, if I were, I would be telling
you secrets before your games. I like don't tell anybody
this and then you get hit me up. Honestly, I
think I'm all right with that secret. I think Jillian'll
be all right.

Speaker 3 (01:45:27):
Yeah yeah, but that I mean, did Montana getting hurt
in that game?

Speaker 2 (01:45:33):
Was like that was it? Right? That was it? That
was it for him in San Francisco. That was it.
The fucking Giants, we just talked about him and they
fucking ended it.

Speaker 3 (01:45:42):
Yeah.

Speaker 6 (01:45:42):
We've been uh, we've been dumping on Lway and the
Broncos here and there, but they would go back to
back Super Bowl thirty two and thirty three.

Speaker 2 (01:45:50):
Yeah, for John the.

Speaker 1 (01:45:52):
Swan's for dude. I'm gonna tell you right now, Denver.
I here's a weird theory of mine. Denver wins the
Super Bowl because the Avalanche came to town and won
the Stanley Cup. And I'm just telling you, as someone
that grew up in Denver. That did for Denver. What
that did is we're like, oh, we're not losers. It

(01:46:14):
like got him over the yips. They were like, oh yeah,
the Avalanche won the championship. Next year, Denver wins the
Super Bowl because they go why not? And then they
I promise you, I just remember that being a big
news story.

Speaker 3 (01:46:24):
Of everyone going. Denver finally got a championship. We got
the Stanley Cup, the Colorado Avalanche champions and then it
was kind of like, well, now the pressure's gone, and
then the Broncos go.

Speaker 1 (01:46:34):
And I mean, those teams were so much fun. Shanny Shark,
Steve Atwater, Bill Romanowski, Neil Smith, Alfred Williams, you got
Gary Zimmerman at left hackle, but Howard Griffin.

Speaker 3 (01:46:47):
Roll's Bamith rod Smith, by the way, I got to
see against the Washington Redskins.

Speaker 1 (01:46:57):
Rod Smith's first NFL touchdown was at Mile High Stadium,
a regular season game against the Redskins. John Elway let
a drive with forty three seconds left in the fourth
quarter and put it perfectly in the corner for rod
Smith to pull it down for his first NFL touchdown.
And I'm telling you, you watch the amount of Bronco
games I went to, it was impossible for me not

(01:47:17):
to go, like, no, I got a huge soft spot
for him, But the Niner in me is so strong
that I fought it off the whole time, to the
point that my dad's my uncle was like mad about it.

Speaker 3 (01:47:27):
He was like, why aren't you a Broncos fan. I
was like, because I'll never be because if.

Speaker 1 (01:47:32):
Nineteen ninety didn't switch me, if the Divorce Bowl didn't
pull me to the Broncos.

Speaker 2 (01:47:38):
I ain't ever coming over ever forist and Fire.

Speaker 3 (01:47:41):
And now it makes it even better that I grew
up because now I'm like, now I live in New
York City with like other Fort Ninros fans or whatever,
and it's like, I used to be ashamed that I
never was.

Speaker 1 (01:47:51):
I didn't I'm not from the Bay. But I'm like, oh,
that's sports are handed down. There's Steelers fans in Seattle
and there's like Buck Kneears fans in Minneapolis. It's just
like you grow up with what you're giving, and I like,
I'm so lucky to be a Niner fan.

Speaker 2 (01:48:07):
Where you were where you were born. In Connecticut has
some of the weirdest lineage.

Speaker 3 (01:48:11):
Because they go Giants, Jets, Pats.

Speaker 2 (01:48:13):
They'll be like a Packers Knicks fan, Yeah, I mean
a Pats Knicks fan or a Red Sox Giants.

Speaker 3 (01:48:19):
Fans and you're like, that's crazy. Red Sox Giants.

Speaker 2 (01:48:24):
There's a weird shit, and you know that's quick and
that's because of what you're just saying lineage because before
the teams even existed, they were all liking them.

Speaker 3 (01:48:31):
Ship.

Speaker 1 (01:48:31):
Well, you know what's really funny about that is my
dad because this is this is before Sunday ticket, this
is before YouTube. We're living in Hartford because of my
mom's job. My dad's a Niner fan. The Niners. Thank god,
we're one of the best teams, so you're getting national games.
But he became a Pats fan because he's watching Andre Tippett.
He's watching guys like that and he's watching him suck.
But he's like, dude, first off, I'm just gonna say this,

(01:48:54):
the best throwback logo is pat the Patriot.

Speaker 2 (01:48:59):
Let's go.

Speaker 3 (01:49:00):
He sent me a video she goes, look what are
rocking this week? And I'm like, it didn't work that
we lost. Yeah, I know, but it's still a fucking
cool ass logo. Is it hits? And the Denver D,
the old school Denver D is the force coming through.

Speaker 1 (01:49:18):
I would tell you the only Broncos merch I would
rock is old school Denver Broncos merch because it does
remind me of growing up there and ship but I
loved it. What streamlined the Broncos for me was Shanahan
and Ed McCaffrey and any other excuse of the forty
nine ers coming over. And I was like, oh, well,
I was supporting these guys.

Speaker 2 (01:49:38):
Before NFC AFC though you could do You can't do
that now if you were like a Rams fan in
an ers that doesn't make sense. I can't.

Speaker 3 (01:49:46):
I hate when people try.

Speaker 2 (01:49:47):
To cross conferences always, all right. I saw excuse for
being a Niners fan, like, yeah, dude, I played in
the n AFC, you know.

Speaker 1 (01:49:54):
But that's exactly it. And that's what dude. I remember,
and this is hilarious. When McDaniel he called me and
he goes, hey, man, I'm gonna leave. I'm like, I'm
gonna try to go be a head coach. And I'm like, fuck, yeah,
you know it's time, dude, It's time people see your
weird little ass doing crazy shit, you fucking psycho. People
are about to see the genius, you.

Speaker 2 (01:50:15):
Know what I mean. And then hang up on the phone.

Speaker 3 (01:50:18):
I remember, I remember exactly where I was sitting on
the couch and our and our condo and Hoboken and
Katie's in the kitchen, and I go, McDaniel's leaving the
Niners like that she's not even.

Speaker 1 (01:50:28):
She's like going through the cabinets and she goes as
long as he doesn't end up in the AMC East
like that. Less than four days later, he's the head
coach in Miami Dolphins, and she's like, no Dolphins merch
in this house.

Speaker 3 (01:50:40):
She's like, no Dolphins merch in this house. We hate
the Dolphins, but it was because they got you guys.

Speaker 1 (01:50:45):
They were the one team you guys would blow out Buffalo,
the Jets you hated, You'd beat the shit up, but
Miami would like sneak punch you guys.

Speaker 2 (01:50:52):
The weather man might and you got the division wrapped
up thirteen. Yeah, and you go down to Miami fucking
twelve degrees in Boston eighty three and fucking Florida in December,
You're like, oh dude, we were going to Uh. It's
always tough to play. You gotta understand when when a team,
like even when you look at who are like even

(01:51:15):
with the with the Bills, now all these teams now
in the division are designing their team to try.

Speaker 3 (01:51:21):
To beat you. Yeah.

Speaker 2 (01:51:22):
So like you look at those old Dolphins teams, they
always had crazy pass rushers. Yeah, they was they was
you know, they would spend their top four picks on
fucking defensive lineman. What do you got to do to
try to beat the Patriots? Get Tommy off the fucking sport, dude,
Get Tommy off the spot.

Speaker 3 (01:51:37):
You gotta go after it.

Speaker 2 (01:51:38):
And that's what you know when the league forever was
you had to go after you talk well.

Speaker 6 (01:51:42):
Uh.

Speaker 1 (01:51:42):
McDaniel's first job was with the Houston Texans outside.

Speaker 3 (01:51:45):
Of the Broncos.

Speaker 1 (01:51:46):
And he called me and my friend Chad, who we
go to all these games, were all like close from
high school, and we're like, who are drafting Reggie Bush?

Speaker 3 (01:51:53):
Who you gonna take?

Speaker 1 (01:51:54):
You can take Jay Cutler and he's like Mario Williams
and we're like, why are you guys taking Mario Williams.
He's like Koop Act said, we need to go after Peyton.
We're playing Peyton Manning twice a year. You got to
get someone in his face. And you're like, you're right.

Speaker 3 (01:52:05):
They would design these teams.

Speaker 2 (01:52:07):
But Belichick used to call him, I think Big M.
He'd always have a weird game for certain guys. He like,
you guys got to watch out for Big M. Here.
There's always one or two or like when whenever we
play like spags. He's like, all right, you guys, spat
like it was like his way of trying to be
cool like that. It's like dropping slag.

Speaker 1 (01:52:28):
It's like, because, so funny, dude, that's really Bill Belichick
trying to use modern slang. It's just a funny thing
where he's like he's got a lot of swag and
you're like, I don't know if that works out. He's like, no,
it is. It's a mood.

Speaker 2 (01:52:45):
It's like in that like grumble, like a little thing goes.

Speaker 3 (01:52:47):
It's giving off sack energy, it's giving off pass rush energy.

Speaker 2 (01:52:52):
It's just him being like.

Speaker 3 (01:52:55):
Full Bill full.

Speaker 2 (01:52:56):
Let's wrap this thing up and get it named and
score it. The name of the game. This is something
that we came up with. If you have a specific
name that you want to give, you could throw it in.
But we came up with the back to back, the
blowout in the Big Easy, the Niners take New Orleans.
This one's not for John. I like that one or

(01:53:18):
the Divorce Ball.

Speaker 1 (01:53:18):
I mean, I personally obviously got to go divorce Ball,
but I also wouldn't mind naming it the back Blowout
and the Big Easy. That's what the Niners did to
the Broncos is they blew their backs out.

Speaker 2 (01:53:31):
The back blowout in the big easy like this. I
like this.

Speaker 1 (01:53:35):
I like that, And that's just that that mixes both
the shit talking I got from this game. For all
the Broncos fans, I like that, But I personally will
always refer to this as.

Speaker 3 (01:53:46):
The divorce ball.

Speaker 2 (01:53:47):
Okay, then we'll go to the divorce bawl.

Speaker 1 (01:53:48):
Because that was Trician Gary legally getting the government involved
to let it know that this marriage was not going to.

Speaker 2 (01:53:56):
Happen by law, by law.

Speaker 3 (01:53:58):
Score the game.

Speaker 2 (01:53:58):
Is this the greatest game of all time? Let's score it.
Decimals encouraged decimals encourage Dan steaks zero to ten decimals encouraged.
See stakes of this game.

Speaker 1 (01:54:11):
The steaks were a repeat. It was for John to
break the I'm not a loser in the super Bowl.
The Broncos are like, hey, we can win a super Bowl.
But for the Niners, it's back to back. You love
a back to back. We have we had never had it.

Speaker 3 (01:54:25):
So the stakes, surprisingly, I think, are lower than other games.
I think if you're going as far as the greatest
game of all time, the stakes are fairly low. Because
it's like, yeah, the Niners might get it, but if
there wasn't really like bad Blood, there wasn't much Besides,
I mean, outside of the soder House.

Speaker 2 (01:54:42):
You're going for back to back. It's big, only been
done once at this time. Okay by the still.

Speaker 4 (01:54:48):
John Away loses a third.

Speaker 3 (01:54:49):
Yeah, okay, that does that does raise the stakes. This
is your score, though, I would say, and we're going
this out of ten, out of ten zero, I would
say the stakes are seven seven point star power. I'm
going nine point five. Oh yeah, because you got Joe Montana,
John Lway, Jerry Rice to this is this is this

(01:55:11):
amount of Hall of Famers in this game is unbelievable.
Gameplay Niners ten point zero, Broncos zero point zero.

Speaker 2 (01:55:18):
So I say.

Speaker 1 (01:55:19):
Gameplay, I think, what you I'm going to give it
an eight point five because you watch the Niners excel
and the Broncos just fumble. But this was like, this
was a highlight game. This is what you send to
a college to recruit the Niners. You know, look at
all these highlights and one tape.

Speaker 5 (01:55:38):
Cultural significance of how much do you think about this game?

Speaker 2 (01:55:43):
For you? It might be very I mean it's ten point.

Speaker 3 (01:55:45):
Oh for me, ten point is this is the game
that solidified me as a forty nine er fan and
also made me understand that it was my dad's fault
for the divorce.

Speaker 1 (01:55:54):
So that was like a big thing. I think coming
into the Super Bowl, I do I think mom might
have been a fall. And then after this game, I went,
you know what, Dad.

Speaker 2 (01:56:03):
It's bigger than just a game.

Speaker 3 (01:56:04):
Dad, he stole money from you. That was kind of
fucked up. I became a forty nine er fan, but
I think I became team Trish after this game.

Speaker 2 (01:56:11):
Wow.

Speaker 3 (01:56:11):
Yeah, you hop her clean up after a super Bowl party?

Speaker 2 (01:56:14):
You know, you go do what everything? Yeah? Oh, I
can only imagine she probably thinks you're on cloud nine.

Speaker 3 (01:56:21):
You're like with your dad.

Speaker 2 (01:56:23):
Yeah, She's like, well, you fucking stole money from me.
How do you like that? Here you go, Well that
got real like that.

Speaker 3 (01:56:29):
We well, I didn't need to know their why after
the prease.

Speaker 2 (01:56:33):
Yeah, my stakes, I'm gonna go this is I think
it's like a nine to five really yeah, back to back,
back to back. If you're in a super Bowl, steaks
are life or death. People are getting paid off of this,
people are getting killed off of this. So steaks of
a super Bowl to me personally are always nine plus.
I went with a nine point seven.

Speaker 4 (01:56:53):
I'm in back to back for this is a big
legacy for both sides.

Speaker 2 (01:56:56):
You've got Joe Montana.

Speaker 3 (01:56:57):
This is the argument of Joe montannaverus John Away.

Speaker 2 (01:56:59):
This is it. So I think the stakes are huge.
I thought the star Power ninety five as well. Probably,
uh gameplay, that's where it hits me to blowout. I
gotta take my San Francisco buy us off. But it's
it's shitty when you're watching a Super Bowl and it's
not close, regardless of what fan base you're one for

(01:57:21):
all the other one hundred million people that are watching. Yeah,
it's kind of it's kind of whack. But offensively speaking,
this is a fucking clinic. Yeah, so I'll probably go
I'm gonna go with a seven point two.

Speaker 3 (01:57:34):
In the name of the game, hold on.

Speaker 5 (01:57:35):
Jack out of five because blowout I think I took
I did for nine ers zero for I went with
the I went with the even out to a five
like Dan said, and.

Speaker 2 (01:57:44):
The name of the game for me, the Divorce Bowl,
I'm gonna go with an eight.

Speaker 6 (01:57:49):
I kind of want to rescore my ship after we
we came up with that whoa, yeah, yea, I'm gonna rescore.
I'm gonna bump this thing up. Let's get these numbers up,
all right, seven point one, I think.

Speaker 2 (01:57:57):
I see he's get degrees. Dude, Lands, it's going to
land high. Though, this is your hard number.

Speaker 3 (01:58:04):
Just HiT's different.

Speaker 2 (01:58:04):
I like that name. Seven point it's an eight eight.

Speaker 4 (01:58:07):
And zero four.

Speaker 2 (01:58:08):
Dude, that's a that's a low b no, I know, but.

Speaker 3 (01:58:10):
It's still pretty.

Speaker 5 (01:58:11):
That's going to put us at our new It's tied
with the Iron Man Match forty four with Seawn Michaels.

Speaker 3 (01:58:18):
I absolutely agree as someone that that was the first
WrestleMania I ever purchased myself with money.

Speaker 1 (01:58:24):
I got nice that. I would say, you didn't have
an illegal box friend. My friend Mitch did, but it
was hard to get over to his house. The I
was low on the invitation list and people were popping
over there. And that was the first time where I
was like my mom, I like to prove a point.
My mom was like, well, you have your own money
by WrestleMania, and I was like, great, call call call

(01:58:46):
it in. She was like, what, I like, put the
cash down on the Center Island. I'm like, call it
in because that was when you had to call out
pay per view, and she was like all right, and
then I was like, oh my god. I was like, dude,
Dotty Roddy Piper versus Goldberg in a street fight, the
Return of the Ultimate Warrior versus Triple h D, Sean
Michaels versus Brett Hart and a guaranteed sixty minute match.

Speaker 3 (01:59:09):
Let's go, let's go. So I get that. I would
do that.

Speaker 2 (01:59:13):
It's right until the other Niners Niners chief, I think
this has got to be higher than that. It was
a blowout.

Speaker 3 (01:59:22):
This is Joe's last one that was and.

Speaker 2 (01:59:25):
I know, but it wasn't.

Speaker 1 (01:59:27):
But you know what's funny is, and I know a
huge Niner fan, I would put Joe Montana's Monday night
football game against the Broncos over this game.

Speaker 3 (01:59:35):
We did say if he did, I want to see
if it landed higher.

Speaker 2 (01:59:38):
I don't think it did. It didn't because the regular season,
the stakes, okay, steaks, I get it, those are the
regular viewer for the stakes of San Francisco. I understand that.
Where do we have it.

Speaker 3 (01:59:51):
At Rams Niners Week? It's fifty fourth, right, okay, yeah,
Montana week seven, so it was barely above it.

Speaker 2 (01:59:59):
Yeah. Wait, what's the Monday Night Football eighty five? Oh?

Speaker 3 (02:00:03):
That was Bill Burr. That was Bill Burr.

Speaker 2 (02:00:05):
That podcast was great.

Speaker 3 (02:00:06):
By the way, Burr was fucking hilarious on this.

Speaker 2 (02:00:09):
He made fun of my shoes. Yeah, for the first Like.

Speaker 1 (02:00:12):
You can't wear anything around Bill Burr. I learned that
coming up at the comedy Cellar. It's like, if you
wear anything, they're gonna clock you immediately. Like a New
York comics are like detectives. They'll like see something and
be like, I can tell by the way you walked
in you're gay. Yeah, you're like yeah, shit, Like I
bought this when I first started making a little money
in like twenty eleven or whatever. I had this Adidas

(02:00:33):
sweatshirt that I bought that I was like, it was striped.
I was like, I'm about to drown in the pussy.
And then I walked in the cellar and from the
second I stepped into the olive tree, it was like
Joe DeRosa, Charad Small and Colin Quinn just being like, like,
why the fuck would you buy that?

Speaker 2 (02:00:51):
What do you want?

Speaker 3 (02:00:51):
A chain gang?

Speaker 1 (02:00:52):
And I was like, God, damn it. I never wore
I wore it once into the cellar and I never
wore that sweatshirt again.

Speaker 3 (02:01:00):
It's like the locker room, Yeah, do you wear it?

Speaker 1 (02:01:03):
And you're like, what I just heard you rod small?
But what the fuck you wearing? And you're like, it's
like a haircut. You get a bad haircut and you
come in the cellar. You're like, I'm fucked. I'm fucked,
and I gotta let it girl out.

Speaker 2 (02:01:14):
All these boys they're just waiting to.

Speaker 3 (02:01:16):
Rich, just waiting to tear me apart.

Speaker 2 (02:01:18):
And they're the best at ripping. What's that? Uh?

Speaker 1 (02:01:22):
Burr knows ball really well. Sam Marell knows ball really well,
Basketball really well, knows Ravens.

Speaker 2 (02:01:29):
Shane Gillis knows ball.

Speaker 3 (02:01:30):
The most played football in college at Elon.

Speaker 1 (02:01:34):
Like, yeah, Shane knows the most ball. But that I know,
I'm trying to think who else knows ball. There's a
lot of comments.

Speaker 2 (02:01:43):
I did a movie recently with him, Yeah, and we
were just talking in between the thing. We were talking
about football, Like I'm in my scene doing the scene, yeah,
and he's looking at me and he goes, you don't know,
that's so funny, dude.

Speaker 1 (02:01:58):
It was so funny as we were just jokingly on
the phone on Friday talking about the meanest thing you
can say from a man to another man's you don't
know ball. If you say to another man, you're de
balling them right there, you go, you don't know ball?
And you go because I was saying, we were saying
that about another guy, and Shank goes, oh, you were
hitting him with that, And I was like, oh, dude,
I said, it's eleven boys on each side.

Speaker 2 (02:02:19):
He got no ball.

Speaker 1 (02:02:20):
And he goes, when when when you get me? Schankos, oh,
you're being nasty. You don't say that, and goes, oh,
you're being real nasty on that.

Speaker 3 (02:02:29):
I just watched.

Speaker 2 (02:02:31):
So I was watching the saying lot with my daughter.
Hell yeah, and like the biggest, the biggest insult at
the time in the fifties is you play ball like girl.

Speaker 3 (02:02:41):
My daughter has no clue. It's like, what what so? Why?

Speaker 2 (02:02:44):
So? What? Why?

Speaker 3 (02:02:44):
What's wrong with you like a girl?

Speaker 2 (02:02:48):
Everyone brings.

Speaker 3 (02:02:51):
The modern equivalent is you don't know ball.

Speaker 2 (02:02:55):
You don't know ball?

Speaker 1 (02:02:56):
I said, I I jokingly will say that about like
when friends of ours like Katie and I as friends
that aren't in comedy or entertainment or whatever, and they'll
like a comic that we don't like. We'll go like yeah,
and we'll leave it. If they don't know ball, it
really is just a great price. You don't know ball,
it's just you don't know what the fuck you're talking
about exactly.

Speaker 2 (02:03:14):
Shut the fuck up. We miss anything on this game, Dan, No.

Speaker 3 (02:03:18):
Man, thank you so much for letting me. This was
so fun.

Speaker 1 (02:03:21):
When they were like, dude, they want to talk what
And I was like nineteen ninety, the nineteen eighty nine,
nineteen ninety Super Bowl, It's all I want to talk about.

Speaker 3 (02:03:29):
First off, loved watching you play football. You played.

Speaker 1 (02:03:32):
You were one of those dudes that you could tell
you enjoyed playing football. And to me, I think that's
what makes the NFL even better when you see those
guys that you go because like, I still freak out
like I did the Performing Palace of the Performing Arts
back in February, and as a comedy fan, I'm like, yo,
this is where Dana Carvey recorded his HBO special. I
like seeing football players that like that, Like you can

(02:03:53):
tell that it means something to them when they're on
the field and they're like, I'm fucking.

Speaker 3 (02:03:57):
Like taking it in Carvy.

Speaker 1 (02:03:58):
Your guy was my first guy, Dana Carvey, Bay Area guys.

Speaker 2 (02:04:02):
He's from my hometown. Yeah, I know, he's fucking Fromwood City.
Oh really yeah, yeah, dude, I think he was born
there and then he like.

Speaker 1 (02:04:09):
But he was a guy where you know, you talk
about your favorite teams are like your favorite cast of SNL.
My nineteen ninety forty nine ers cast of SNL is
at the same time SNL from like eighty nine or
ninety where it's Mike Meyers, Dana Carvey, Phil Hartman, Like
you have young Farley young, like you have this seller.

Speaker 3 (02:04:27):
Yeah, you have like this young Rossler. Yeah, I think
he later a little.

Speaker 1 (02:04:31):
Later, but that's what the that's what the nineteen ninety
forty nine ers are.

Speaker 2 (02:04:38):
It's like that SNL cast five.

Speaker 1 (02:04:41):
Yeah, so it's like all these young guys are about
to be Hall of Famers, but you also have these
like the legends.

Speaker 3 (02:04:47):
Dana Carvey was my.

Speaker 1 (02:04:47):
Guy, well I mean Garth, yeah, dude, absolutely, and that
special specifically, Like so when I.

Speaker 2 (02:04:53):
Was stories between from that are sad though I heard
that oh him and Mike, Yeah, but I heard they're
cool again. They're cool again. But like I've seen. You
don't know what you see these days.

Speaker 1 (02:05:04):
But it is one of those things, man, where it's
like when I got to perform at the Palace at
the Performing Arts, I was like, damn, that's sick. I
was like, walked on that stage. I was like, yo,
I watched I probably watched that HBO special over one
hundred times, so it was like crazy to be like.

Speaker 2 (02:05:19):
I kind of felt like that when I played in Lambeau.

Speaker 3 (02:05:21):
Yeah, exactly.

Speaker 2 (02:05:22):
You play at Lambo, it's because it's just you're in
the middle of nowhere. It's ancient old.

Speaker 1 (02:05:29):
I would have I would assume that's how a baseball
player feels when you go to Wrigley.

Speaker 2 (02:05:33):
You go, Damn, dude, this is pretty cool.

Speaker 1 (02:05:35):
I'm in the place where all the people that I
loved did it before me, and now I'm doing what
I love in the same place.

First off, Jules, what was take us through your mindset
of the whole weekend, like leading up to it, the
actual weekend, the ends and the outs everything.

Speaker 2 (02:08:46):
Honestly, it was like, it's kind of nerve wracking.

Speaker 3 (02:08:50):
Is that is that right? Yeah?

Speaker 2 (02:08:52):
I believe it. Just like I had to like go
speak and I wanted it to be somewhat good, decent,
don't want to like an idiot up there. And then
I also had to work Fox, you know for Fox,
which I'm still like, that's still a game day to me.
I still get in game day mode when I have
to go on to TV because I want to do good,

(02:09:14):
you know what I mean, I want to do like
well at the things I've been working on in my speaking.
So like, it was a lot mentally, but it was
really good to have, you know, my my family was
all there and my close friends and you know, it
was just it was a it was a fun weekend
to get to see them enjoy it, you know, because

(02:09:35):
it's a family award. You know, my dad thinks he's
basically in the Hall of fame.

Speaker 3 (02:09:39):
Now.

Speaker 2 (02:09:39):
You know.

Speaker 5 (02:09:42):
How many times did you did you tear up during

or three.

Speaker 2 (02:09:47):
I don't know, I did.

Speaker 5 (02:09:49):
You actually got me too, like when you were talking
about your dad and your mom, that's what we.

Speaker 6 (02:09:53):

Frank and he was crying. I was like, oh, here
I go.

Speaker 3 (02:09:57):
Here I go.

Speaker 2 (02:09:58):
Yeah, it was I don't know, just anytime you talk
about family and like a lot of emotions hit you
that like it was there. I don't think people understand
how hard it was. Yeah, yeah, I mean, like it's
a hard it was a hard road that went and
there was so many like just crazy moments, but also

(02:10:23):
so many low parts that you know, you it's a
lonely place, you know, and it just that's I don't know,
that's why it gets you emotional. I didn't, I did, remember,
I didn't. There's one person I forgot to mention was
Nick Cassio. I saw on the panel. You were like, fuck,

(02:10:44):
Nick Assia worked me a lot, and I forgot about

don't he had zero anything. He had nothing written down
or anything for his speech. He went up there and

Fatty Styles are incredible rooms. Thank you on Core, No
wonder mister Craft had to sell off part of the
team and he's a cash infusion. After that, he gave
us so many rooms, he smokes, he hooked us up up.

Speaker 5 (02:19:22):
Outside the turnovers A one, Patriots look like a team
that when they figure some stuff out, that they're going
to be.

Speaker 3 (02:19:28):
A good team.

Speaker 2 (02:19:30):
Like Wings can't win five turnovers, so of course you
can't see that. It doesn't that that that's the only
thing to take away from the game. Yeah, I mean
they had a shot to win. You can be positive.
The positive was they had a shot to win. Yeah,
that's a positive. Yeah, with turnovers, you still should have won.
Still couldn't. My god, I should have you don't turn

(02:19:52):
the ball over and should win anything, could have.

Speaker 4 (02:19:55):
But you can look at the team and be like, oh,
there is some optimism here.

Speaker 2 (02:19:58):
There's definitely some optimism in Rome one build overnight. This
is gonna take some some fucking time.

Speaker 3 (02:20:04):
Time.

Speaker 2 (02:20:04):
All the time you keep from learning how to not
whatever you can't can't learn until you learn from losing.

Speaker 3 (02:20:09):
It is sorry, must mouth.

Speaker 2 (02:20:11):
Literally on the field was a rose too. She she
was having fun. I was making her do she was
she was like racing her cousins and stuff. She's enjoying that.
That was that was like the fun stuff. Because she's
at an age an hour, she remembers a lot of it. Yeah,

And thanks to Dan to go over my childhood Niner team.
But he can't be throwing Dan, you can't be throwing
see his mouth. Mount Rushmore ideas were a little suspect.
You can't be throwing guys that have never won super
Bowls on Mount Rushmore's like Patrick Willison. I love Willie,

(02:21:22):
I know, but they got to have when you're talking
about an organization, the San Francisco forty nine Ers, Bro,
they got five super Bowls, and I think five.

so much, right, So like he still has that connection, right,
I get it. And like George Kittle, is there anyone
more forty nine Ers than a guy like George Kittle?
Now he has a one one sure, but like he
his it's his Mount Rushmore.
